If people with hard water thought gold bathroom fixtures wouldn’t get you robbed, the market would instantly expand to accommodate way more gold

      If you hold a piece of gold foil against a strong backlight, it will appear bluish. It blocks (and reflect) the longer wavelengths of visible light, (that's why it appears yellowish) but allows the shorter wavelength to pass thru. In other words, it can't even block blue light let alone UV, or other higher enegry radiations. That is for a very thin foil. If it's thick enough then it will block most stuff.

    gold is quite a useful element so please don't waste it on jewellery, because there are many alloys that can look like gold or even better & shinier than gold and you can just use cheaper metalls that are not so useful as replacement. Its kinda selfish to wear such useful metal as jewellery. same goes for platinum, too

    So this is how alchemy started. Someone disolved some gold and then tricked people into thinking you can turn gold from just mixing liquids.

    aaahhh gold, when people do not trade their buying power for numbers on a piece of paper, while ironically at the same time keep using coins for the limitations that they reject from gold
