Gold mining in Alaska, a state of the United States, has been a major industry and impetus for exploration and settlement since a few years after the United States acquired the territory in 1867 from the Russian Empire. Russian explorers discovered placer gold in the Kenai River in 1848, but no gold was produced. Gold mining started in 1870 from …

Fill it up about halfway and then place the rock in the water (assuming it's small enough to do so). You can measure how big the rock is by how much water is displaced. If the water line moves up 3/4 of a cup then that's how big the rock is. You can use Google to convert that volume to cubic centimeters.

Gold also combines to form the mineral ore calaverite (AuTe 2). Gold has no known biological role and is non-toxic. Gold may be found as nuggets but is most commonly found as tiny specks embedded in rocks. The chemical symbol of gold Au comes from its Latin name, aurum. Gold is believed to be the first metal element to be identified.

Determining the specimen's density is one of the first steps in recovering gold from gold ore. Knowing the density of the ore makes the process more effective. The density of gold ore varies from one type to the next. Typically, impure gold is around 16 to 18 times heavier than its associated host rock, which has a density of 2.5.
