Specific Gravity: Gold has one of the highest specific gravities among metals, reaching 19.3 g/cm³.
This means that it is very dense and heavy for its size. Magnetic Properties: Gold is paramagnetic, so it is slightly attracted to a magnet.
Types of Gold: Gold comes in various forms such as pure gold (24 carat), yellow gold (18 carat), white gold and rose gold. The hue of gold depends on the admixture of other metals.
Gold-Bearing Rocks: Gold is often found in vein deposits in igneous and metamorphic rocks, as well as in sedimentary river deposits.
