how much gold has been mined on planet earth?

It is not that much. The total amount would be a cube 58 feet x 58 feet x 58 feet. \n\nQuotes from the two references:\n\n"Total world production of gold is estimated to be about 3.4 billion troy ounces, of which more than two-thirds was mined in the past 50 years. About 45 percent of the world's total gold production has been from the Witwatersrand district in South Africa."\n\nand \n\n"The total amount of gold mined in the world in the history of mankind amounts to less than 90,000 tons. If this gold were all collected together it would fit into a cube only 58 feet on a side!"

The Bendigo goldfields in Victoria, Australia were, until recently, the richest goldfields in Australia.  Over it's 150-year history, a total of just under 1 cubic metre of pure gold was extracted from the ground in the area.

Ok, so gold's symbol is Au, and it has an atomic mass of about 196.967. Therefore, there are 196.967 grams of Au for each mole of Au.\n\n2.15 mol Au(196.967g Au / 1 mol Au)= 423.47905 grams of Au\n   (2.15 moles of gold is 423.47905 grams)\n\n2.15 mol Au(6.023*10^23atoms Au / 1 mol Au)=1.2943*10^24atom\n    (You multiply the number of moles by Avagadro's number to get the number of atoms present for the number of moles)\n\nTo sum it up:\n   2.15 moles of Au is also:  423.47905 grams of gold \n                                    and\n                              1.2943*10^24atoms of gold \n\nhope that helps

the most abundant substance in the earths crust is silicon dioxide (sand) and the most abundant on the planet is iron (the core is essentially all iron)

Its 6 billion, I think. You don't you go around the world and count 'em .

I think it's all in the Gold and Diamond Exchange in Dubai. USGS reports they import 500+ metric tons of gold per year, but does not report any mining. I would be careful because I think UAE holds all minerals as property of the Emirates. \n\nIf I were going to look I would go to the Hajar Mountains, which are a complex of igneous and sedimentary rocks, and some of the worlds most extensive exposures of ophiolites. There are reports of intrusive igneous rocks in these ophiolites in the form of sheets and dikes of plagiogranite. Hyrothermal fluids moving through those areas might have left some gold behind. \n\nI know there are gold deposits in Saudi, but don't know the locale.

If you mean on the earth, the answer is 6 billion.

According to the CIA World Factbook, as of July 2005, there was an estimated 6,446,131,400 living on the planet. \n\nBear in mind, the number is only an estimate but provides a reasonable snapshot of the world's population.

Assuming this is fine gold with a purity of 99.9% or better...\n\nThe current spot price of gold is: $718.40/Troy Ounce. (May 14, 2006)\n\n1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams\n\nSo, .8 grams = 0.02572059 troy ounces.\n0.02572059 * $718.40 = $18.48\n\nSo: $18.48, but not many people would buy such a small amount of gold unless you drop the price by about 10%, so your could probably sell it for: $16.63

That's about to change! The cost to manufacture synthetic diamonds is continually going down to the point now where the diamond mining companies are getting worried, especially since the "imitation" diamonds are more perfect than the real thing!\n\nBut we can't say the same thing about gold. Nobody knows how to make gold yet and it's currently over $600 an ounce and going higher.

How much space would 19.3 g of gold take up?\n\nthen it is 318.97/19.3 times that much space!
