    1/2 and 1/2 -- pure 9fine) silver and pure gold-- is what I've heard
    modern electrum to be. Historically, I've always heard it to be an
    alloy of naturally occurring are: gold/silver, maybe some copper. 

    At any rate, 50/50 silver gold is 12k green gold, to my mind. I've
    made some and it is a very light pale greenish white.
