Gold.

Here's the scientific stuff:-

Gold, Atomic number 79, symbol AU. A soft, yellow, corrosion-resistant element, the most malleable and ductile metal, occurring in veins and alluvial deposits and recovered by mining or by panning or sluicing. A good thermal and electrical conductor, gold is generally alloyed to increase its strength, and it is used as an international monetary standard, in jewellery, for decoration, and as a plated coating on a wide variety of electrical and mechanical components. Atomic weight 196.967; melting point 1,063.0°C; boiling point 2,966.0°C; specific gravity 19.32; valence 1, 3.

That's enough of that.
