Sizes and quality
The Gold Ore texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Gold ore is an uncommon ore that only drops something when mined with an iron pickaxe or better. With stone or wood it breaks and gives nothing, a classic early-game mistake. What it drops is raw gold, which you then smelt in a furnace; Silk Touch collects the ore block itself.
You have to dig down for it. The main batch generates between levels -64 and 32 and is most common around Y=-16, with a smaller second batch between -64 and -48. Below Y=0 it is usually the deepslate variant. The exception is badlands: an extra batch generates much higher up there, which makes it the best biome for gold hunting.
Fortune makes a difference: with Fortune III it gives 1 to 4 raw gold per block, so it can pay to collect the ore with Silk Touch and mine it later with Fortune.
Watch out near piglins. They turn hostile if they see you mine gold ore, even if you wear gold armour or have Invisibility. And if you drop gold ore on the ground, they run over to inspect it for a few seconds before keeping it.
