Wisdom through Mindfulness: Impurities in gold...
The gold, having been blown on again amp; again to the point where the impurities are blown away, is then refined, free from dross, pliant, malleable, amp; luminous. It is not brittle, and is ready to be worked. Then whatever sort of ornament he has in mind whether a belt, an earring, a necklace, or a gold chain the gold would serve his purpose.
