Gold is a valuable, yellow metal. Gold is usually in metamorphic rock but sometimes is found in sedimentary ones, too. It is found in underground veins of rock where the inside of the Earth heats the water that flows through the rock.

Gold is mined using placer mining, open pit, and hard rock mining. Gold is found in veins of rock and at the bottom of rivers and streams. It can be found as small nuggets or flakes, but sometimes it is in gold ore. You can’t see the gold in gold ore. The ore is crushed until it is like sand. There is a long chemical process that separates the gold from the ore.

Gold can balance energy fields, and is beneficial for opening and balancing the third eye and crown chakras. 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. It has been used to bring wealth, happiness and good feelings. Gold is a mineral of spirituality, understanding, and attunement to nature. It attracts positive energy and is a great healing mineral.
