24 karat gold is one of the purest substances there is, it is even isotopically pure as gold has only one stable/nonradioactive isotope and all naturally occurring gold is 100% that isotope.

However anything less than 24 karat gold is not pure, other metals are alloyed with it usually to make it harder and more durable.
