You have probably heard the legends of Alaska\u2019s and mid-America\u2019s impressive gold discoveries, but did you know that the world\u2019s purest gold is found in Europe, far north of the Arctic Circle, in Finnish Lapland?<\/span><\/p>\n The gold content of Lappish nuggets is over 90%. Unlike with nuggets in many other parts of the world, there are barely any impurities. However, Lappish gold does contain some silver, which makes it perfect for making beautiful, unique items of jewellery.<\/span><\/p>\n Certified Lappish gold is not only pure, but it\u2019s also ethical and fully traceable. When you buy certified Lappish gold as a nugget or a piece of jewellery, you know exactly which gold digger has found the gold, when it was found and where. Wouldn\u2019t it be fun to know, near which of Lapland\u2019s wild fells or by which flowing river, the gold from the ring that glistens on your finger was discovered?<\/span><\/p>\n In Lapland, loose gold is dug responsibly and sustainably using traditional methods. No chemicals or toxic substances are used. Nuggets are separated from the gravel simply with water and skilfull use of a pan.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.1.1″ src=”https:\/\/visitsodankylasompio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Team-Deadwood-iso-Visit-Sompio.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” prev_text=”Previous” next_text=”Next” _builder_version=”3.0.93″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lappish gold nuggets have a gold content of more than 90 %.
