Occurences

　　Gold develops irregularly on quartz formed by hydrothermal alternation. If it occurs on the mild sulfide quartz, often associating with pyrite and arsenopyrite; in the deposit of low hydrothermal veins, it associates with pyrite, galena, and sphalerite.

　　Doe to its high specific gravity and stable chemical characteristics, gold after weathering is often accumulated as placer deposit.
