Pounded gold flakes are possible due to gold's ability to hold tightly to itself. One ounce of gold will make a tiny wire 37 miles long. Gold can be pounded thinner than a sheet of fine paper, translucent even. The flake could be quite small and produce enough area as to make it seem MUCH larger in size.
