Gold readily creates alloys with many other metals. These alloys can be produced to
modify the hardness and other metallurgical properties, to control melting point or to
create exotic colors (see below). Gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity and
reflects infrared radiation strongly. Chemically, it is unaffected by air, moisture and most
corrosive reagents, and is therefore well suited for use in coins and jewelry and as a
protective coating on other, more reactive, metals. However, it is not chemically inert.

Gold has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange,
either by issuance and recognition of gold coins or other bare metal quantities, or through
gold-convertible paper instruments by establishing gold standards in which the total value
of issued money is represented in a store of gold reserves.

At least 32 nuclear isomers have also been characterized, ranging in atomic mass from
170 to 200. Within that range, only 178Au, 180Au, 181Au, 182Au, and 188Au do not
have isomers. Gold's most stable isomer is 198 m2Au with a half-life of 2.27 days. Gold's
least stable isomer is 177 m2Au with a half-life of only 7 ns. 184 m1Au has three decay
paths: ß+ decay, isomeric transition, and alpha decay. No other isomer or isotope of gold
has three decay paths

Aurum Advisors Website : Blue gold can be made by alloying with iron and purple
gold can be made by alloying with aluminium, although rarely done except in specialized
jewelry. Blue gold is more brittle and therefore more difficult to work with when making
jewelry. Fourteen and eighteen carat gold alloys with silver alone appear greenish-yellow
and are referred to as green gold. White gold alloys can be made with palladium or
nickel. White 18-carat gold containing 17.3% nickel, 5.5% zinc and 2.2% copper is
silvery in appearance. Nickel is toxic, however, and its release from nickel white gold is
controlled by legislation in Europe. Alternative white gold alloys are available based on
palladium, silver and other white metals, but the palladium alloys are more expensive
than those using nickel. High-carat white gold alloys are far more resistant to corrosion
than are either pure silver or sterling silver. The Japanese craft of Mokume-gane exploits
the color contrasts between laminated colored gold alloys to produce decorative wood-
grain effects.

The city of Johannesburg located in South Africa was founded as a result of the
Witwatersrand Gold Rush which resulted in the discovery of some of the largest gold
deposits the world has ever seen. Gold fields located within the basin in the Free State
and Gauteng provinces are extensive in strike and dip requiring some of the world's
deepest mines, with the Savuka and TauTona mines being currently the world's deepest
gold mine at 3,777 m. The Second Boer War of 1899–1901 between the British Empire
and the Afrikaner Boers was at least partly over the rights of miners and possession of the
gold wealth in South Africa.
