This 0.38 g gold nugget with quartz comes from Victoria’s Golden Triangle in Australia.
Description from the seller
The gold of this Australian nugget already existed before the Sun.
It was born more than 4.6 billion years ago in the collision of neutron stars, long before the Sun and Earth existed. It traveled the universe as stardust, and the Australian ground kept it for hundreds of millions of years until water concentration gathered it into this nugget. Gold is not manufactured or printed: it is found. And there will be no more.
It comes from Victoria’s Golden Triangle, the land of the largest natural gold nuggets in history. There, in 1869, two miners found the Welcome Stranger beside the roots of a tree: about 72 kilograms of gold, the largest alluvial nugget ever found. Between 1852 and 1855, most of the world’s gold came from Victoria. Prospectors still roam with their detectors in the area between Ballarat, Bendigo and Wedderburn, famous for the purity and size of its gold. The shape of this nugget is the footprint of millions of years: there is no other like it.
Why do you need gold? Because paper money can lose its value. In Germany in 1923, a loaf of bread cost hundreds of billions of reichsmarks, and a lifetime of savings disappeared in a matter of months. Gold preserved its value. Today we live amid wars, an ever-growing debt, and the fear of an economic collapse: history warns.
And to survive a crisis, a bar is not enough, because no one gives change for a kilo of gold. Nuggets are useful: they are divisible and interchangeable, easy to store and to carry, and recognizable anywhere in the world. Gold cannot be eaten, but it has bought food in the worst crises in history.
Your nugget arrives in a small glass vial, to preserve it and observe it in detail. I will ship it as soon as possible after payment.
