Description
Possibly the first metal used by humans, gold was valued for ornaments, and magical powers were attributed to it. It is naturally a soft, light yellow to vivid yellow corrosion-resistant metal. It won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals. By definition, pure gold is 24 carats, and thus a 75% gold alloy is 18 carats. Chief producers are South Africa, the U.S., Russia, Australia, and Canada.
