Gold is a native element, typically appearing as small to large grains and nodules of a rich yellow metal. It has a highly metallic luster and a resolutely malleable texture, often forming in quartz veins or in alluvial placer deposits where it concentrates in river gravels. Specimens are prized for their bright color and native crystal habit, though free-standing crystals are uncommon; most material is in irregular nodules or sheet-like masses.
