Enjoy the facts,
All seven continents have gold buried beneath their crusts.
Gold never rusts, as it is inert.
It is believed that most of the earth's gold (almost 80%) is still buried underground.
John Deason and Richard Oates of Australia found the largest nugget of gold in 1869. The nugget weighed 2248 ounces of pure gold and was 10 by 25 inches. The most amusing thing is that it was found only two inches below the ground's surface.
Due to gold being inert, it does not cause skin irritations. You should remember this, and if your gold jewellery causes skin irritations, then it is probably not pure gold. __________________
