Summary

Description
English: Gold (Au) is a rare and attractive metal. Humans have valued it for millennia. Natural gold principally occurs as detrital grains and clasts in streams, rivers, or beaches (= placer deposits); and in hydrothermal veins, usually mixed with quartz.

Historic and current uses of gold include: jewelry, coins, electronics, dentistry, and government hoards.

This vintage gold tooth (= molar) dates to the 20th century. It is ~1.2 centimeters across at its widest.
