This 1.21 g gold nugget is from Alaska, USA.
Description from the seller
The gold of this Alaska nugget already existed before the Sun.
It was forged more than 4.6 billion years ago, when neutron stars collided in our galaxy in one of the universe’s most violent cataclysms. It traveled through space as stardust, became part of the cloud from which the Sun and Earth were born, and ended up trapped in the mountains of Alaska. Gold is neither manufactured nor printed: it is found. Everything that exists is already here, and there will be no more.
It’s the gold that sparked the fever of the Great North. In 1898 it appeared at Anvil Creek, the following year on the beaches of Nome, and thousands of people dropped everything to go looking for it. Even today, the mining season lasts barely a few months: the rest of the year the land is frozen. The ice and rivers took millennia to sculpt this nugget, and there is no other like it.
Why do you need gold? Because when money fails, gold keeps its value. In Venezuela, when the bolívar collapsed, people started breaking nuggets into shards to pay for food, water, or a haircut. They carried them in their pockets wrapped in banknotes that were worth nothing. That’s survival.
Wars, ever-growing debt, fear of an economic collapse. The money in your account is a debt from the bank to you, a promise. Gold is not anyone’s promise, and no government can print it. That’s why nuggets are the gold of survival: divisible and interchangeable. In a crisis, no one will give you change for a one-kilogram bar; a nugget is weighed, recognized, and exchanged anywhere in the world.
Your nugget arrives in a small crystal vial that protects it and lets you observe it without touching it. I’ll ship it as soon as possible after payment.
The moment you have gold is before you need it. There is only one nugget like this: when the auction ends, it will belong to the highest bidder.
Shipped certified and insured as soon as possible

• Natural mineral and gold nugget collectors
