Q: What is Gold made of?

Gold has the chemical formula Au, crystallises in the cubic system and measures 2.5 – 3 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Native gold is one of the few metals that occurs in nature in elemental form because of its chemical nobility — it resists oxidation and dissolves only in aggressive reagents such as aqua regia and cyanide solutions. It crystallises in the cubic system as rare octahedra, dodecahedra and wire aggregates, but is more commonly found as nuggets and disseminated grains in quartz veins and placer deposits.
