Gold is a metal, a pure element by the chemical symbol of Au.
Gold isn't a rock. It is a chemical element, or, in the eyes of the geologist or miner, it is a mineral. It is sometimes referred to as a noble metal because it doesn't react easily with other "stuff" in the earth. That translates into gold appearing as a pure metal in the form or tiny flakes, nuggets or the like. You can have all the gold in the ground in the crust of the earth to a depth of one mile if I can have all the gold that is dissolved in sea water.
