Facts About Gold Gold has been used in coins and jewelry for thousands of years. It occurs in quartz veins, in nugget form and as grains such as those found in riverbeds. It's color depends on the types of impurities it contains, but typically it is golden yellow in color. In order to change it's color and increase it's hardness, different metals are alloyed with it, creating different purities (indicated in the USA by Karat) and different colors such as rose gold, green gold, white gold, and peach gold. Mohs' Hardness of 24k (pure) Gold: 2 1/2 Metaphysical Properties The energy of gold can be used to balance the energy fields.
