It is both. The metal gold exists as a mineral in the Earth, and its distinctive colour is used to describe the colouring of other objects. A similar thing happens with orange, the colour and the fruit.
yes it is a mineral
Mineral
the mineral of the half gold rock is the aluminium it makes the rock have its shine in the inside and then it spreads out in the outside yep that is all...:-D
Gold is an elemental metallic mineral, and therefore is not a rock as described in the metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rock cycle.
Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic are terms used to describe the processes in formation and types of rocks. Gold is a mineral, therefore these terms do not apply. Gold is an elemental metallic mineral.
Gold is a metal, not a mineral.
Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock, not a mineral.
Yes, gold is a rare mineral.Answeryes, it is not a rock or metal but a mineral

Diamond or Gold
Gold was sometimes found in quartz, a white rock that often contains mineral veins.

A conglomerate and a limestone both are sedimentary rocks.
both are found underground
Gold itself doesn't like to form chemical compounds. That's why there isn't any "gold sulfide" or "gold carbonate" or any other mineral that we mine. Make no mistake, we do mine tons of rock and process it to get out the gold. But that's because the gold is distributed through that rock as really tiny bits. Though gold does form a few compounds, we don't really see it in nature as a mineral. Hope that makes sense, and that it helps.
No. A rock is an assemblage of at least two different minerals. One mineral can't be two or more minerals.
Gold is usually found in metamorphic rock but can also be found in sedimentary rock. In deep mines, quartz rock is found in association with gold.
