Gold Ore

Gold Ore is the rarest and surprisingly hardest of the common ores. Burnished gold in color, it can be found occasionally on the surface, but more often in deep caves.

Gold Ore can be mined by any Pickaxe/Drill and any type of Explosives, except ones that do not destroy tiles.



Trivia

 * In real life, gold is one of the softest metals, but in Terraria (as lampshaded by the Goblin Tinkerer) it is harder than such heavy-duty metals as iron or steel.
 * Additionally, real gold ore does not exist; gold is only found in its native form, and any compounds of gold are artificial and require complex processes to make. Most are also unstable.
