Item #: SCP-RS-067

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-RS-067 currently does not need to be contained as it is not known to be hostile. In the event that SCP-RS-067 becomes dangerous, Mobile Task Force Theta-4 ("Gardeners") is authorized to deploy the herbicide [REDACTED] to eradicate all instances of SCP-RS-067 in the wild, in which case the incident is to be explained as an unusual strain of blight that only affects particular plants.



Description: SCP-RS-067 is a species of plant normally found in bush patches. Once planted, SCP-RS-067 takes between █ and ██ hours to reach maturity. In its fully grown state, SCP-RS-067 has a thick stem, approximately 1.5 m in diameter and 0.8 m in height. The stem supports a flower-like structure with three large sepals, each between 1.2 and 1.5 m in length. The structure contains several stamens and a large orifice in the center.

SCP-RS-067 is unusual in that it consumes gold coins. Empirical evidence suggests a positive correlation between the amount of coins consumed and the overall knowledge possessed by the subject planting the seed. SCP-RS-067 consumes only gold coins; all other forms of gold, including jewelry and bars, are immediately spit out. The mechanism of which SCP-RS-067 converts gold to nutrients is unknown. There are few substances that are capable of dissolving gold, such as aqua regia and certain cyanide solutions, and no traces of any such substances were observed in SCP-RS-067 or its fruit.

Once sated, SCP-RS-067 begins producing a single fruit, referred to as SCP-RS-067-1 from now on. This process takes around ██ minutes on average. SCP-RS-067-1 resembles a large, multi-colored ovoid, not unlike an oversized Easter egg. Picking SCP-RS-067-1 will cause SCP-RS-067 to shrivel up over the course of ██ minutes. Each instance of SCP-RS-067-1 measures 0.7 m in length and 0.5 m in width, and consistently weighs 2.56 kg regardless of how much gold is consumed.

SCP-RS-067-1 does not appear to be edible, but can be opened to reveal commonly traded items. These items have not been observed to contain anomalous properties. Some items are found in the form of Bank of RuneScape notes; close inspection has shown the notes to be authentic.

Observational data suggests there is also a positive correlation between the amount of gold consumed by SCP-RS-067 and the total value of items (using Grand Exchange data) retrieved from SCP-RS-067-1. Further details are available in the addenda below.

Addendum RS-067-1: Items retrieved from SCP-RS-067-1

The following is a list of items that have been produced by SCP-RS-067-1:


 * Ores and bars (noted)
 * Seeds, including those of SCP-RS-067
 * [DATA EXPUNGED]
 * Gems (uncut, noted)
 * Chicken feathers
 * Animals hides and bones (noted)
 * Various gardening supplies (noted)
 * Uncooked seafood (noted)
 * [DATA EXPUNGED]
 * Crystalline fragments that resist all attempts to give them to another person
 * [DATA EXPUNGED]

''Note from Dr. ████ █████: Those crystals appear to be part of a triskelion of some sort. They've only appeared a few times so far. Classification of it as an SCP object is being considered.''

Addendum RS-067-2: Observational results

Accrued data suggests that the overall value of goods retrieved from SCP-RS-067-1 will be lower than the value of gold consumed by SCP-RS-067 in the long run. An experiment involving █,███ instances of SCP-RS-067 has shown there that the average rate of return is approximately 98.23% of the gold consumed. The total value of items has also never been observed to exceed 300% of the original amount of gold.
