This video looks at gold’s role throughout the history of mankind. We will find out how and why gold became money and trace its path through the rise and fall of empires and civilizations. Learn how gold has held its purchasing power like no other asset for millennia and examine the gold standard to discover why years of countries running up debts that could never be paid back have made it imperative that the money you have in your wallet no longer be backed by the precious metal.

Go to the Swiss Alps to take you on a never-before filmed tour of the world’s biggest private gold vault – one of the most secretive places on earth, as we show you the lengths man will go to in order to protect this most precious of metals.

Look at the path gold takes from the moment a stake is pushed into the ground to the moment refined, molten gold is poured and cast into bars and coins – journeying deep underground to see how gold is mined, and into one of the world’s biggest refineries to witness the process that turns it from a few flecks in tons of rock to jewelry.

  High Grade Silver Ore Slab

  

  silver slab – example only

  Nice sawn vein specimen of fresh, unaltered high grade silver ore from the world-class Cobalt Ontario deposits. Sawn on one side only.  The deposit was described in Mineralogical Record, Volume 43, Number 6.  In general, veins are predominantly composed of carbonates (calcite and/or dolomite) with arsenides and sulpharsenides of Co, Ni and Fe with native Ag and Bismuth.  Most of this material has been squirreled away in collections by now, although specimens do occasionally come to market.

  

  There are a few of these silver slabs available. The very bright silver really makes this piece stand out, but, unfortunately makes it all so hard to photograph. As an example the one pictured above is 66 grams for $45.
