A few of the minerals that bear gold in their respective formulas are in a subclass of sulfides called the tellurides. The element gold seems to have an affinity for tellurium and this is one of the only elements that gold can bond with easily. In fact only a few rare tellurides are found without gold. A few of the tellurides are nagyagite, calaverite, sylvanite and krennerite. These are all minor ores of gold and their contributions to the supply of gold pales next to native gold's own contribution. Occasionally these minerals are associated with native gold.
Copper and silver, as native metals, are also contenders, and less rare. To the alchemist, gold was associated with the sun, whose name and symbol were adopted for it. The yellow of gold is an orangish-yellow, not a bright cadmium yellow, a complex color that has its distinctive name.opper, silver and gold are found in elemental or native form at the earth's surface. The best nuggets have been picked up already, since the land has been scoured for them wherever there are people who appreciate them.
