Seems like the seller is a confirmed "Trekie", but he does have a link on the eBay auction page to a rather interesting web page with lots of historical facts and much data about the properties of gold:

That auction violates the Prime Directive. :)

I'm not sure if his auction violates the Prime Directive, but the graphics employed on his website certainly do!

The horizontal scrolling, the blinking in the text background, and his choice of background/text color makes the site frustrating to try and read.

Gold is just another semi-heavy metal, so I'm not really concerned about its origins.

What interest me most is where the large placier deposits of gold released by the erosion of gold containing mountains formations are likely to exist today. A bit of elementary physics helps to provide a clue.
