Scientific Properties: The color of gold depends entirely upon the amount and type of impurities it contains. Native gold is generally golden yellow, but in order to vary it's color and increase it's hardness for use in jewelry, it may be alloyed with other metals. Silver, platinum, nickel or zinc are a few of the minerals that may be added to give a pale or white gold. Copper is usually added for rose or pink gold, and iron for a tinge of blue. Gold purity is defined by he proportion of pure gold metal content, rated as it's carat (ct) value. The purity of the gold used for jewelry varies fro 9 carat (37.5% or more pure gold) to 14, 18, 22 and 24 carat. The latter being pure gold. In many countries gold is stamped or "hallmarked" to indicated it's degree of purity.

Traditional
folklore and crystal healing metaphysical lore tell much about gold.
It is said that gold can balance energy fields, and is beneficial for
opening and balancing the third eye and crown chakras, as well it can
also balance the heart chakra. It can remove negative energy from the
chakras and bring in the positive from the stones it is with.
Gold’s lack of toxicity and its scientific properties of incredible malleability and ability to conduct energy, while remaining resistant to wear and corrosion, make it highly useful for Medical Science. Medical uses based on science have included the treatment of Arthritis, dental fixtures, and more. Healing uses for Gold based on the beliefs of the New Age include the treatment of blood, skin, neurological and heart disorders. They believe Gold to be an energy generator and remover of blockages with the power to strengthen, amplify and conduct energy in the body for the treatment of autism, dyslexia, epilepsy and scoliosis.

Magical Properties: Gold is intimately liked with divinity, particularly with any gods associated with the sun. Throughout the ages, where gold was found or obtained through trade it was often the material of choice for fashioning sacred images and decorating altars. It was considered to be one of the highest offerings to the deities. Magicians working almost exclusively with solar energy wear gold ritual jewelry to help attune with that power source. Perhaps the most magically potent of all metals, gold is utilized in magic to lend its energy to rituals. Worn during magic, gold jewelry enhances the magician's ability to rouse and send forth power. Wearing gold during your everyday life increases your personal power, thus promoting courage, confidence and will power.
