Gold Gold, a precious metal is prized for two
important characteristics. First of all, gold has
a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion.
Therefore, it is suitable for jewelry, coins, and
ornamental purposes. Gold never needs to be
polished and will remain beautiful forever. For
example, a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished
today as the day it was minted twenty-three
centuries ago. Another important characteristic
of gold is its usefulness to industry and
science. For many years, it has been used in
hundreds of industrial applications. The most
recent use of gold is in astronauts suits.
Astronauts wear gold-plated heat shields for
protection outside spaceships. In conclusion,
gold is treasured not only for its beauty but
also for its utility.
