UK Export pulled out his mineralogy book, didn't he?
I'll bet the asker has the same information in his book somewhere.
Gold is also is isometric and commonly octahedral while rarely showing faces of the dodecahedron, cube, and trapezohedron [113}. It has a hackley fracture and is very malleable and ductile. Its high specific gravity ~19.3, distinguishes it from pyrite. It is inert and only soluble in aqua regia.
Here is a question for you, streak is a valuable diagnostic characteristic of many minerals. How do you determine streak?
