It is found as a pure element (small grains of pure gold). Rarely, it is found as nuggets of pure gold, but since I assume that you are asking with regards to elemental or compound, it is found as an element.
answ2. recent work shows that the grain size of gold particles increases as the gravel becomes more re-worked! This apparently anomalous result is believed to be because of the almost perfect 'nobility' (lack of reactivity), of the metal. So when two gold flakes come together, they can alloy together.
This was first noticed in the 1980s (?) when an old gold coin was found on the floor of a mine adit, (or drive) over which acid mine water was flowing. This coin had micro crystals of gold growing on its surface.
This also goes some way to explaining the occasional gold nugget.
[Old time miners, on finding a nugget, reasoned that there must be a seam of gold in the vicinity of which the nugget was representative. sadly NO.]

It is the 4th natural state of matter so no one invented it but discovered it
The mineral state of matter is its natural state in which it can most commonly be found. For most minerals, this is the solid state however some come in the form of liquids as well.
ammonias state of matter is a liquid.
Gold's physical state at room temperature is solid. That's one of the reasons why gold is widely used to make various jewelry pieces.
fixed gas state of matter
a natural state of matter would be tellurium
Solid. Check out article in January National Geographic Magazine.
At normal (room) temperature gold is in solid state of matter (phase).

That depends on which golds gym you visit and what state you are located. The cost of an unlimited Fitness membership varies from state to state. You would have to visit the gym.
