Hydrothermal environments (typical)
Gold is a rare element that is widely distributed but in small amounts. Most gold occurs as the native
metal. The chief sources of gold
are hypothermal (high temperature), mesothermal (moderate temperature) and epithermal (low temperature) hydrothermal
gold-quartz veins, together with
pyrite
and other
sulphides. When gold-bearing veins are weathered, the gold liberated either remains in place in the soil
mantle, or is washed into
neighbouring streams to form placer deposits. Gold is usually
primary, but it can
also occur as a secondary mineral derived from gold
tellurides.
Gold tends to form alloys such as electrum with silver and
copper, but there are rare examples of native gold and native
silver occurring together
(R&M 96.3.202-203).

At the Tintic Mining District, Juab County, Utah, USA, gold is not a common mineral, but some fine specimens
do exist. The richest amounts of native gold have been found associated with
tellurium mineralisation such as at the Trixie mine where a highgrade
vein was discovered, containing visible native gold, teineite,
xocomecatlite,
goldfieldite and hessite.
Native gold specimens have also been collected from the Centennial Eureka, Mammoth, Gold Chain, Tintic
Standard, North Star and Eureka Standard mines, usually occurring on a quartz
matrix. Specimens of quartz containing
malachite with flakes of native gold have been found on the dumps
of the Centennial Eureka mine. Arsenic minerals, including
olivenite,
pharmacosiderite and
tyrolite, have also been found
associated with native gold at the Mammoth and Gold Chain mines. A rather interesting
pseudomorph of gold replacing a nicely crystallized
enargite crystal about 0.8 mm tall has been found at the Gold Chain mine.
