The raw beauty and abundance of Alaskan Gold is what inspired the Alaskan Gold Rush of the late 1800's.  Being untreated, unaltered, or manufactured, the gold can be appreciated in its natural form.

Alaskan Gold is mined right here in Alaska, where each nugget is natural, and shaped by the forces of nature, not "preformed" or manufactured. As with any type of raw gold, the nuggets may have quartz and other common minerals imbedded in them. This is Alaska, where nature decides the shape and colors of our world. Enjoy the forces of nature, see what we've created for you.


                                                            

In August of 1896, on a small branch of the remote Klondike River, three men discovered what would later prove to be the largest concentration of gold ever found. Several hundred miners were quick to make claims and share in the discovery. Winter set in, closing all routes to and from the Klondike region -- the world would not find out about the big strike for months. Two steamships brought the prospectors south in the summer of 1897. One, called the SS Portland, landed in Seattle on July 17th. A front page story in a Seattle newspaper told of "more than a ton of gold" aboard the Portland, divided among 68 miners. The story was quickly relayed around the world by telegraph and mail.  Thus began the Alaskan Gold Rush.
