they are rare and usually consist of nothing more than a tunnel to the remains of a magnetite meteorite with a higher than normal gold content.
***Interesting, I didn’t know that

The other one folks don't know, and usually can't imagine, is that gold is usually associated with deposits of iron pyrite ~ another form of iron usually brought to Earth as a meteorite.,

That's called "fool's gold'. But you can find a deposit and work it down and there's just all sorts of mineral wealth in there.
