Gold is a very rare substance making up only ~3 parts per billion of the Earth's outer layer (imagine 1 billion smarties in one place and only 3 of them were made of gold!). Its rarity and physical properties have made gold one of the most prized of the Earth's natural resources. When gold is found in rocks it is almost always in a pure state.

Alluviums are thin deposits, in the form of layers, made of material transported by flowing waters, sediments on the bottom of the riverbed, on the meadow or at the water spill. They are made up of boulder, gravel, sand and mud. If they contain noble metals (gold and silver), they are called golden alluviums.
