The purple box on Snapchat means you have received a video. If the box is filled in with purple, you have received a video you haven't watched. If the box is an outline of purple, you have already viewed the video.
I am not aware of the Purple Heart ever being made with pure gold. The medallion that is made today is actually a brass core that has been anodized to the gold color.
According to AR 600-9-22, Table 3-4, the Purple Heart is to the left of the Bronze Star. The Bronze Star is a higher medal than the Purple Heart, and medals or ribbons are mounted right to left, top to bottom. The regulation can be found at http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r600_8_22.pdf
