Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics. First of all, gold has a lustrous1 beauty that
is resistant to corrosion. Therefore, it is suitable for jewelry, coins, and ornamental purposes. Gold never needs to be
polished and will remain beautiful forever. For example, a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it
was made 25 centuries ago. Another important characteristic of gold is its usefulness to industry and science. For
many years, it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications, such as photography and dentistry. The most
recent use of gold is in astronauts' suits. Astronauts wear gold-plated heat shields for protection when they go outside
spaceships in space. In conclusion, gold is treasured not only for its beauty but also for its utility.
