Gold powder has traditionally been used to illuminate manuscripts and for gilding various items. More recently, you can see gold powder being used for other purposes. You may even see the precious metal in non-traditional products like health supplements.

In gilding japanned work, gilders apply either gold leaf or gold powder after suitably preparing the surface. If they want the gilding to shine brightly, they put gold leaf; if they don't want it to shine so much, then they use gold powder. Silver powder has also been used for gilding, to a lesser extent than gold powder. Medieval paintings also contain much gold powder, which acted as a pigment, not an ink, to heighten the luminosity of any color.

There are technological applications for gold powder. In varying particle sizes, gold powder finds use in medicine, in high performance film pastes, as components for certain sensors, and in conductors that need firing. However, you'll still find customers who buy gold powder and silver powder for traditional gilding and leafing purposes. Some Web sites give tutorials on how to apply gold leaf, silver leaf and other metals.

A more esoteric use for gold powder has evolved in recent times. There appears to be some researches on certain white powder substances derived from gold, silver and platinum group metals that are in a monatomic or single atomic state. The concerned researchers call these substances, including white powder gold, as orbitally rearranged monatomic elements, or simply M-state substances.

The literature claims that white powder of gold is a substance known even in ancient times, and ritually ingested by the initiated. This use of white powder gold as food supposedly results in heightened awareness and intuition, and helps in longevity.

For this reason, gold powder is present in products containing M-state substances. These are usually in the form of health supplements.
