The natural properties of gold, such as its resistance to tarnish, its lambent yellow color, its weight and plasticity, distinguished it from the outset as a medium for accumulating wealth or creating luxury objects such as jewelry. Gold, one of the first metals used by man, is found in veins, mainly between pyritic minerals such as quartz,from which it is also mined. As these minerals weather, particles of gold are released and washed away by rainwater into the rivers. The collection and separation （panning）of alluvial gold constitutes probably the most ancient process for obtaining this precious metal. In antiquity there were gold deposits around the Mediterranean in Egypt, Spain, the Caucasus and elsewhere. It would be remiss not to mention some of the gold mines in Greece, such as those of Siphnos, Thasos or Mount Pangaion.
