From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.
      gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &
      OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See
      {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]
      1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious
            metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It
            has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest
            substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and
            very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by
            heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore
            well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au
            (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.
  
      Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of
               silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver
               increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific
               gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in
               the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.
               It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in
               slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial
               soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.
               It also occurs associated with other metallic
               substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined
               with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,
               sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,
               and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the
               latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See
               {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the
               pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which
               is used as a toning agent in photography.
  
      2. Money; riches; wealth.
  
                     For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak.
  
      3. A yellow color, like that of the metal; as, a flower
            tipped with gold.
  
      4. Figuratively, something precious or pure; as, hearts of
            gold. --Shak.
