Gold is usually found, in grains and lumps, in the sands of rivers and in drift; also in a gangue of quartz in Talcose slate, as in the Southern States. Iron pyrites is frequently mistaken for gold ; we have already mentioned its characters which distin-guish it from the precious metal: it hai a black streak and is hard and brittle. Gold is easily separated from sand by washing. On account of its great specific gravity it settles to the bottom, while the earthy particles are poured off.
