Natural 'Invisible' Gold Found In Nanoparticles
Science Daily ^

Posted on 06/26/2008 12:05:48 PM PDT by mnehring

Nanoparticles of gold too small to be seen with the naked eye have been created in laboratories, but up until now, have never been seen in nature.

The search for these natural but ‘invisible’ nanoparticles is important. If they can be proved to exist, the knowledge will help give us a deeper understanding of how gold can be transported and deposited by geological processes, and therefore help explorers to find new gold deposits in Australia.

Anybody interested in the purchase of this invisible gold before the demand ratchets up to astronomical values just contact me on PM for price and availability. I have a limited supply and am willing to part with it on a first come first serve basis. Cash transactions only though. Beat the rush!

How does gold happen to clump together in such places as Australia, S Africa, and Alaska?

I'm not an expert but I believe for Alaska it is in areas where quartz or other minerals have natural veins that bring gold up from very deep levels. For Australia and South Africa, they have mines that are very very deep and I wouldn't be surprised if it could be mined in more locations if companies where willing to foot the massive expense of super deep mining operations.

Adjusted for inflation, it is still 20% more worthless than it was 20 years ago!!!!

Buy gold now! That's a bargin, it's a bargin for you!

The next step is for either 1). scientist use this technology to actually make gold or

2). the Chinese dump a billion pounds of the stuff on the market to crash the market.

Might be proto quartz here in Alaska. Very soft stuff or placer where erosion has moved it into creek beds.
Doesn’t look like it came from the depths any time recently. They just scoop it up and sluice it. There is a hard rock mine here with silver and lead.

But, but, I am always being told by the goldbugs this is impossible, that a gold currency would protect us from all ills such as market crashes, inflation, deflation, recessions, depressions, stagflation, etc... they proooommmmmiiiissssseeeeedddddd.....

I know that is all BS, but it is funny how they claim over and over it is some economic miracle

If there’s such a thing as invisible gold, then transparent aluminum won’t be far behind. Scratch up another win for Scotty from Star Trek.

It’s not invisible, you just can’t see it.

But, the trick is, it is only invisible when no one is looking at it.
