Gold

A valuable dense, soft metal widely used for its conductivity, resistance to corrosion, unique physical properties and beauty. Gold is the most malleable and ductile metal, meaning it can be tamped extremely thin to the point of semi-transparent or drawn into long fine wires. With a similar density to tungsten, it is known for its heaviness for the size. While pure gold is too soft for most applications without an alloy for strength, which changes the color of the reddish-gold material accordingly: white (nickel/palladium), rose (copper), green (silver), or blue/purple (iron/aluminum).

An 'illuminating' metal associated with prosperity, wealth and high energy. Brings stability, happiness and purification to the wearer. Associated with the heart, promoting love and compassion. Gold is linked to the Sun in many traditions, highlighting vitality and consciousness.
