What Is Colloidal Gold?
A clear UK guide to true colloidal gold, how it differs from ionic gold,
why it can appear ruby red, what 60ppm means, how colloidal gold is made,
how people use it and what to look for when choosing a quality product.

CLEAR DEFINITION
Colloidal gold is a suspension of extremely small particles of elemental gold dispersed throughout a liquid, usually purified water.
THE ESSENTIAL DEFINITION
What Is Colloidal Gold?
Colloidal gold is a suspension of extremely small particles of elemental gold dispersed throughout a liquid, usually steam distilled water.
Unlike ionic gold, the gold is present as physical particles rather than dissolved gold ions. The particles remain dispersed throughout the liquid to form what is known as a colloidal suspension.
At jewellery scale, gold appears yellow, metallic and reflective. At much smaller particle sizes, gold interacts with light differently, which is why colloidal preparations can appear ruby red, purple or deeper shades depending on particle characteristics and concentration.
THE DISTINCTION THAT MATTERS
True Colloidal Gold vs Ionic Gold
Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, colloidal gold
and ionic gold are different physical forms of gold in liquid.
Understanding that distinction makes it easier to compare products
and understand what you are actually buying.
- Gold present as dissolved ions
- Different physical and chemical form
- May appear visually different
- Should not automatically be described as a true colloid
THE PHYSICS OF COLOUR
Why Is Colloidal Gold Ruby Red?
Gold is usually associated with its familiar metallic yellow colour. But when gold exists as extremely small particles suspended in liquid, its interaction with light changes.
At the nanoscale, gold particles can absorb and scatter particular wavelengths of visible light. This optical behaviour can give colloidal gold its characteristic ruby red appearance.
The exact colour can vary depending on particle size, particle distribution, concentration and the way the colloid has been produced.
Particle dimensions influence how gold interacts with visible light.
A consistent particle distribution can contribute to a more uniform appearance.
The amount of gold present can influence the depth and intensity of colour.
UNDERSTANDING CONCENTRATION
What Does 60ppm Mean?
PPM means parts per million. In colloidal gold, it describes concentration, meaning how much gold is present relative to the liquid.
A concentration of 60ppm represents approximately 60 milligrams of gold per litre of liquid.
Concentration is useful information, but it does not tell you everything about quality. Particle characteristics, source gold purity, water quality, production control and suspension stability also matter.
THE FARADAY METHOD
How Colloidal Gold Is Made
Gold Healing Colloidal Gold begins with high purity elemental gold and steam distilled water. The preparation is produced using a controlled electrolysis process designed to create and disperse fine gold particles throughout the liquid.
Careful control of the starting materials and production conditions helps maintain consistency in concentration, appearance and suspension.
01
High Purity Gold
99.99% pure 24K elemental gold provides the starting material.
02
Steam Distilled Water
A clean water base provides the controlled liquid medium.
03
Controlled Electrolysis
Electrical energy is applied under carefully managed production conditions.
04
Colloidal Suspension
Fine gold particles become dispersed throughout the finished liquid.
BEYOND PPM
Why Particle Size Matters
Concentration is only one part of understanding colloidal gold. The size of the suspended particles can influence how the liquid behaves, how it interacts with light and how stable the suspension remains.
Smaller particles provide more surface area relative to their mass, while particle distribution shows how consistent the overall population is. Stability describes how well those particles remain dispersed rather than clumping together over time.
For that reason, a large ppm number should never be considered on its own. Purity, particle characteristics, distribution and production control all help provide a fuller picture of the product.

THE STORY OF COLLOIDAL GOLD
From Ancient Gold to Modern Nanoscience
Gold has fascinated people for thousands of years. Its rarity, permanence and distinctive appearance made it important in jewellery, symbolism, early medicine and alchemical traditions.
Historical preparations sometimes referred to as liquid gold or potable gold should not automatically be confused with modern colloidal gold. The scientific story becomes much clearer during the nineteenth century.
In 1857, Michael Faraday published experiments investigating the interaction between finely divided gold and light. His work helped establish one of the foundations for understanding the unusual optical behaviour of nanoscale gold.
Gold became associated with value, permanence, symbolism and historical preparations across many cultures.
Faraday investigated finely divided gold and documented its remarkable interaction with visible light.
Modern analytical techniques allow researchers to study gold particles at scales Faraday could only investigate indirectly.
MODERN NANOSCIENCE
Why Scientists Study Gold Nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticles are studied because their optical, surface and nanoscale properties make them useful across a wide range of scientific and technological fields.
Researchers can carefully control particle size, shape and surface chemistry for highly specific applications, including molecular detection, imaging, analytical science and advanced materials.
These applications usually involve specially engineered particles. Their properties can differ significantly depending on particle size, coating, formulation and the environment in which they are used.
Used in systems designed to detect selected biological or chemical targets.
Gold nanoparticle properties support certain rapid testing and detection technologies.
Studied for specialised optical and experimental imaging applications.
Gold nanostructures can enhance Raman signals used in analytical science.
Used in research involving sensors, plasmonics, catalysts and engineered materials.
Engineered gold particles are investigated as carriers for selected molecules.

Common Questions About Colloidal Gold
Clear answers to some of the most common questions about colloidal gold, concentration, ingredients, suggested use and quality.
Is colloidal gold real gold?
Yes. True colloidal gold contains physical particles of elemental gold suspended throughout a liquid.
Is colloidal gold the same as ionic gold?
No. Colloidal gold contains suspended gold particles, while ionic gold contains dissolved gold ions. They are different physical forms.
Why is colloidal gold ruby red?
At very small particle sizes, gold interacts with visible light differently from bulk metallic gold. This nanoscale optical behaviour can produce ruby red and related colours.
What does 60ppm mean?
PPM means parts per million. A concentration of 60ppm represents approximately 60 milligrams of gold per litre of liquid.
Does higher ppm mean better colloidal gold?
Not automatically. Concentration does not tell you particle size, distribution, source purity, suspension stability or production quality. Those factors should also be considered.
