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.

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.

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.
