Gold (when in its elemental form, which means pretty darn pure)is soft and malliable. It is capable of being hammered to such thin sections that it can be called gold leaf. Alloys of gold and other minerals are often much harder. Gold (as found in most mines today) is an alloy of metalic metals and silicon rock. Often Zink, silver, some lead, and others. The gold is so mixed in that the rock must be crushed to powder in a ball mill then seperated with chemistry, including arsnic. Elemental gold found naturally is almost always soft enough to put marks in rather than scratch with flaking. Gold is very much heavier than iron or silicon, so comparing your "sample" with a similar volume of common rock would indicate if it is "goldish". JimN
