What is the mineral of gold?
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.
