L'or, en raison de sa relative inertie chimique, est le type du métal natif. Mais il n'existe qu'à l'état dispersé, soit libre, soit associé, en solution solide, semble-t-il, avec d'autres minéraux de minerais [...] L'or natif, comme l'argent d'ailleurs, est rarement pur; il est en effet fréquemment associé avec de l'argent [...] 4, record 1, French, - or%20natif
