This indicates that ancient Egyptians were developing advanced metal refining techniques long before anyone else. The reason why ancient Egyptians famously favored gold jewelry so much was not just because it was valuable, but because gold is easy to shape and mold. Perhaps this preference for gold was why their early iron …

The technique of smelting mined gold ore concentrates reported by Diodorus Siculus as being used in Egypt in the Second Century B.C. has been simulated in the laboratory. A considerable degree of refining was found, comparable with that yielded by the medieval process of cementation with salt, and with a negligible loss of gold.

Assaying. The fire assaying techniques described above for gold are equally applicable to silver. In order to determine the silver content of a fire assay bead, the bead is first weighed, then boiled with 35-percent-strength nitric acid to dissolve its silver content, and then weighed again. The weight loss defines the silver content, and the remaining residue …

Gold usually forms in hydrothermal systems, where hot fluids mix with rocks. These fluids, rich in minerals and metals, circulate through fractures in the Earth's crust, carrying the building blocks of gold. One of the main ways this metal is made involves volcanoes. When a volcano erupts, it pushes these fluids toward the surface.
