In its pure state, gold is incorruptible, meaning it does not rust, it is eternal, unchangeable, homogeneous, and easily transportable. It can be found all over the world, in mines and in watercourses. In particular, there are two types of gold: primary and secondary.
Gold is found in rock formations when they contain a large amount. In rock formations, other precious metals such as silver or quartz are often found as well.
Gold is also present in small watercourses and in the sands of some rivers, resulting from the erosion and washing that the waters have produced by passing through the rocks.
