popularity is its habit of changing its col

red and at night 1t is blue. The red, white

Men Of experience who handle much gold
can quickly tell from what part of the
world the quartz was mined from which
the gold piece was coined. Few grown
people,know the real color Of gold. as the
metal is seldom seen except heavily alloyed,
which renders it redder in color than when
in its pure state. The gold found in the
Ural mountains is the reddest of all in its
natural state; Australian gold is redder
than that of California, while gold OBJ
tanned from the placers is redder than that
obtained from quartz. What causes these
different colors is one of the mysteries Of
metallurgy-
