Over immense periods of geological time, repeated movement through these cracks can concentrate metals, including gold, into veins running through otherwise ordinary stone. The gold itself has a history far older than Earth. Gold atoms are produced through extreme astrophysical events involving enormous concentrations of energy and neutrons, with neutron star collisions now known to be an important source of heavy elements such as gold. This material was scattered into space and became incorporated into the cloud of gas and dust from which the Solar System formed billions of years later.
