Gold is particularly attracted to Mercury. In fact, mercury is used to extract gold from the ore that it is found in. Then a cyanide is used to make the mercury 'let go' of the gold in a manner in which people can recover it.
Gold is non-ferrous and therefore is not attracted by a magnet. There are other metal that are attracted by a magnet but gold is not one of them. You can tell what is a ferrous metal and what is a non ferrous one but you cannot identify gold.
gold, iron, metal
Probably because there is a metal spring in the clasp. It does not mean the clasp is not gold.
Nickel and telluride minerals are mined at Kalgoorlie.However, Kalgoorlie is best known for its rich gold deposits. Gold is a metal, not a mineral.
Hi,No. gold is not attracted by magnet.Regards
Gold is a metal, not a mineral.
Yes, gold is a rare mineral.Answeryes, it is not a rock or metal but a mineral

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.

I heard that if you use a magnet and it's attracted strongly to the metal then is's not real gold?
- gold has a very specific and beautiful color, easily to identify - gold is not corroded - gold is a mineral as a pure metal
Pyrite (A.K.A. Fool's gold) isn't an element, its formula is FeS2 (iron (II) disulfide) Pyrite is classed as a mineral.
Gold is a transition metal on the periodic table.The processes under which gold forms and gets transported definitely falls within the confines of geology and the fact that gold is a mineral makes geology the primary field to study it.
