What Is Tungsten Gold?

Shoppers who are looking to buy real gold may unfortunately purchase tungsten gold, or fake gold, by accident. Fake tungsten gold bars are cheap substitutes for the real thing.
  1. Background

    • Tungsten gold is considered the Ancient Metal of Kings. Tungsten is also called “the heavy stone.”

    Pricing

    • While gold is priced in the tens of thousands per pound, tungsten costs less than $100 per pound. Charging the real gold price for tungsten gold leads to a huge profit.

    Qualities

    • Tungsten gold is scratch-resistant and lightweight. Per cubic centimeter, it has a density of 19.25 grams at room temperature. At liquid density, it is 17.6 grams per cubic centimeter.

    Determining Type of Gold

    • It’s difficult for the average person to quickly spot tungsten gold. However, those who are experienced in the gold industry can find ways to determine if the gold is fake or not.

    Purity of Other Metals

    • Silver and platinum tend to be pure, since the materials are often melted down for making cell phones and catalytic converters.
