Crystallized Silver Nugget from Nevada




7.32 gram Crystallized Silver Nugget.

Crystalized Silver Specimens from the Silver Crest Mine... 

Happens when they drill holes in a circle in the mine wall and place dynamite sticks in each hole and set off the explosion... 

The heat and pressure from the explosion crystallize the Silver... They pry it of the floor and walls after the explosion

All the Gold in the Universe was formed Billions of years ago from the Collision of 2 Giant Neutron Stars

Scientists had long argued that supernova explosions were the source, but now it looks like it was the collision of 2 giant Neutron Stars that formed the heavy Elements including Gold, Platinum and lead ...  
"These neutron star collisions produce all elements heavier than iron and they do it efficiently enough that they can account for all the gold that's been produced in the universe." ( - Smithsonian Magazine)



Heavy Elements:



Pt= Platinum (78)
