I sold it to my friend for 30 dollars!

is it real gold?!

Of course it isn't real gold. He's not an alchemist. By gold and silver he means the colors, not the elements.

my building owner was telling there is a technique to make gold within 24 hours from some kind of plant juice, still i am getting to know about that.
