Holy crap. No wonder why gold is so expensive. This is a ridiculously long refining process.

#5 I see what you are saying however today gold is expensive mostly due to uncertainty in other major currencies and economies or political stability: it was 5 times cheaper in 2000 than today.

Like anything else, the price of Gold is set by its demand and availability, not totally by cost associated with mining and production.

In the world there are currently somewhere between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes of gold ‘above ground’. To visualise this imagine a single solid gold cube with edges of about 19 metres (about three metres short of the length of a tennis court). That's all that has ever been produced.

WTF! "gold is the softest and most malleable metal", what about mercury?

#13 that depends on how and at what temperature you define "soft". Caesium is softer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium


however, neither are malleable at room temperature. every metal is pretty malleable at one temperature or another

It makes me wonder, how did they do all this in ancient times? Was the process of "making gold" as complex as today?! :|

Gold certainly is not the softest metal- cesium is, and sodium is soft enough to squeeze into shape by hand- been there, done it, wear gloves! This video is really annoying, what does she mean by "flue rite"- fluorite? And the furnace, "whose temperature is..." I didn't know the furnace was a who. Nice video, needs polish, perhaps a professional company could do this properly.

LiquiDnB - That is how it is mined today because all the "easy to get at" surface gold has been found. In the past it was possible to find it on or near the surface in lumps (where erosion had exposed it).

Everyone kind of missed my point...
Gold is not the softest metal.
Sure, mercury is not maleable at room temperature(as it is liquid), but it is a softer metal than gold. And its not the only one.
Im not part of the mercury fan club, I was pointing out that this woman just made up her own facts.
