Yes, 24 karat gold is 99.9% pure (which is the purest gold that you can buy). This is gold that has been melted down and refined - so not in its natural state. Natural gold nuggets would rarely come in at 24 k - very pure nuggets are considered to be 22-23K but most would be 20-22k.

How can you tell if something is 24k gold?

One can tell if something is 24k gold by poking it with a sharp object. Gold is a soft metal, and the higher the karat the softer the metal, therefore if it makes a dent or leaves a mark, then the gold is 24k. Also, 24k gold is much more yellow, so, the color can help to identify 24k gold. And finally, bringing it to a jeweler to get it appraised will help to determine if it is 24k gold.

Is there any difference between 1 gram of 18 K gold and 1 gram of 24 K gold?

Yes, there is a difference between 1 gram of 18k gold and 24k gold. The difference between 1 gram of 18k and 24k gold are their purity as well as their worth. 24k(.999) gold is pure gold where as 18k(.750) isn't. You also have to know that the cost of a gram of gold is calculated first by knowing the price of a troy oz (oz) of gold. For example the price of one oz(31.1 grams) is $850 after you know how much the price is you divide the price of one oz by 31.1 grams giving you the cost of each gram after you do so if the gold is 24k then that is the cost per gram of 24k gold, if not you then take the answer you had for the 24k and multiple it for example to find the cost of 18k gold you multiple it by .750 and that is how much 1 gram of 18k gold costs. $850 / 31.1 = $27.33 (cost of 24k gold) $850 / 31.1 = $27.33 X .750 = $20.5 (cost of 18k gold) 24k(.999) 18k(.750) 14k(.585) 12k(.500) 10k(.417)
