About Gold Bars

By Jack Wagon

Thousands of years ago, a child was working in a cove were he discovered a rock that was very shiny. That was the time when humans first encountered the existence of gold. It was pale yellow in colour and had a sparkling appearance. Hence, it was given the name gold. Gold was one of the metals that humans discovered a long time back.

It became one of the most indispensable parts of all the human cultures due to its popularity. Its eternal shine and attractive beauty has been stimulating humans for decades. Its desire made people so obsessed to posses it that they were willing to take each other's lives for its possession.

Gold was found in various different parts of the world each having its own time lines of discovery, hence, it does not belong to a specific group who discovered it. The discovery of gold imparted exalted feelings equally to everyone.

Gold is one of the easiest and purest forms of metal, which can be altered as desired in a processing condition, this makes it very different from other metals, which usually are found in ore-bodies. Gold has always been perceived as a possession of wealth and power due to its natural form. Even in the early civilisations and different cultures of the world it was has always been associated with gods, immortality, and wealthy countries.

As gold is a natural substance, its form can easily be changed by moulding it into different shapes and sizes like a nugget or gold bars. The reputation of this metal has always been on the rise due to all its forms. Kings of many countries have used this metal to make their crowns. Almost all the women are passionate for its possession. Gold has been used to make gold coins, which was used as a currency.

Gold has always been observed as the possession of beauty and power. Hence, it has made this metal a desirable object for human beings. Back in the ancient times, this precious metal was meant to build shrines and idols. Different objects like plates, cups, vases, and vessels were also developed by using gold.

Gold did not get its worth because it was used as money; rather it had always been an inspiration and priceless object with humans. Due to these values, people made all efforts to keep it in their possession. People from different civilisations like the Hittites, Phoenicians, Indians and Egyptians used to send slaves and prisoners of war to mines in search of this precious metal. In those times, gold was not used as money, but as the most desirable possession one could have.

These days gold is considered a must part of almost all types of precious jewellery and it's as adorable as in the past. Though some other precious metals are also being used for this purpose, however none is as popular as gold and none can offer the same grace and glory as gold can offer. It's no more used as money these days, but it is reckoned as something more precious than money. Humans have an eternal sort of love with gold, which doesn't seem to decrease in the near future. - 23305
