Gold dust

Japanese: 砂金 - さきん
Gold dust
Gold exists as placer ore. It is found in the gravel of riverbeds and beaches as small pieces, but sometimes large nuggets are found. The purity is usually over 800/1000. It coexists with magnetite, ilmenite, quartz, monazite, zircon, etc. On a small scale, it is separated from the gravel by a cat-floating method, and on a large scale, it is collected by gold mining boats and separated by specific gravity. In Japan, it is found in the Sorachi River and Teshio River in Hokkaido.
