Uses of Gold

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

None is more functional than Gold of all the minerals that can be found from the Earth. The usefulness of it is come from a diversity of special properties. This mineral is a good conductor of electricity. Here are some of the uses of gold that it can perform because of being a conductor of electricity: it does not blemish, can be drawn in wire, can be combine with other metals, has a brilliant afterglow and fabulous shape and it is very easy to work.

Aside from being more functional than the other metal, Gold also occupies a very important place in our mind because it is memorable. If we will remember, the native South Americans met the Spanish explorers when they first arrived from what they called “New World”. A vast ocean was the one who separated these two cultures, who have never been seen each other. These two cultures had a different language from each other and learned to live entirely in different ways. Thus far, they something in common-it is for them, Gold is very important because they held it in highest honor and use it to create some of their important things that time.

As times pass by, every established culture is using gold to signify influence, elegance, accomplishment and pureness. And today, we pursue the use of Gold through using it creating the most important thing for us like ecclesiastical art, medals, wedding rings, crucifixes and money.

The World’s Oldest Gold

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

A large burial site located in Bulgaria known as the Varna Necropolis was accidently discovered by excavator Raycho Marinov in 1972.  Marinov recovered over 3000 golden objects from 294 graves.  The graves, dating back to 4200-4600 B.C.E., belonged to the Varna culture.  Symbolic graves that contained no skeleton were the richest in gold artifacts with most of the gold being 23.5 carats.  Gold items in symbolic graves also had the items placed where you’d expect them to be found on a skeleton, a gold bracelet in the area you would expect an arm to lie and gold earrings where the head would be.  The gold objects are of fine craftsmanship and indicate some level of technology by employing techniques such as hammering, piercing, and cutting.

The amount of gold objects found in a grave signifies social stratification and paved the way for the development of social classes.  The Varna Necropolis is important because it offers the oldest known burial evidence of an elite male.  Also, the Varna cultures sudden discontinuity has lead to much speculation including theories of climate change, war, and land exhaustion.

Winter Olympic Gold

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Did you know medals were not awarded during ancient Olympic games? Instead winners were given olive wreaths.  The medal tradition began during the first modern Olympics in 1896 where first place winners received silver, second place received bronze, and third place winners left empty handed.  Throughout history the Olympic medals have been many shapes and sizes with today’s gold medals being silver covered with 6 grams of 24 karat-gold.  The Winter Olympic medals have no standard design and have even been made of glass.  This year’s Winter Olympic medals have a unique undulating shape said to reflect the Vancouver landscape.  Even more unique, the medals were crafted from melted circuit boards.  Canadian artists Corrine Hunt and Omer Abel designed the medals with each medal being laser etched and are all composed of materials from recycled electronics.  As of today the U.S. leads with most gold medals, 7, and total medals, 24.
