It is a very pure conductive metal. More pure than gold. Indeed.

GOLD!!!!!!  Because it lasts forever, cannot be destroyed, and is worth more than that paper stuff we call MONEY.

The higher the karat, the better. The higher, the closer to pure gold.

Most efficient? If you don't have a lab, then I would assume just doing your best at grinding off the top layer, and trying to melt the shreddings down into a >70% gold alloy. Since gold's melting point is OVER 1000 degrees Celsius, I suppose your best bet is to heat the grindings as much as possible, and then pounding them together into a single mass (like a black-smith...or 'gold-smith'). But you have to realize HOW LITTLE gold is actually on there. The layer is so thin...sometimes merely 2-3 micrometers. You're gonna get a lot of impurities, such as nickel and copper. Gold-plating is usually done on copper or silver; and in the case of copper, a thin layer of nickel is placed below the gold. And since the melting point of nickel isn't that far from that of gold, and copper's is almost EXACTLY that of gold's, you're gonna get a random mixture of crap. I imagine the process is more trouble than it's worth. I'd just go buy gold from alfa aesar or somewhere like that for cheap-as-free.

Good question? I think it comes from platinum. A bar of pure platinum would be really expensive.

your question is unclear. you want 100% purity or 99% purity?

Something that is gold should have a stamp mark somewhere on the bottom.  As far as solid, there should be another stamp mark saying what the purity is.
