g'day Noel

    I've always understood that "Electrum" was not a specific alloy of
    gold and silver, but the name given to a group of naturally-occurring
    gold-silver alloys containing from about 20 to 50 percent silver.
    Consequently "it varies from pale yellow to silver white in colour
    and is usually associated with silver sulfide mineral deposits". 

cheers
Allan Heywood
