Gold exist as native element, with a specific color, is not reactive - as a consequence it is simply to be identified. Sodium is very reactive, form many minerals and methods to be separated doesn't exist before 1 800.

Why does sodium chloride change colour when heated?
As sodium chloride is heated, the vibrations of the individual sodium chloride molecules increase, forcing adjacent sodium chloride molecules to move away until they have enough room to vibrate. Once the temperature increases to 801 °C (1,474 °F), the molecules are so far apart that they can't hold together anymore. So, they fall apart and act as a liquid. Viola, molten sodium chloride.
