in its pure form

Ciao Ivana,
credo si riferisca a questo.
Non so se esista un termine più specifico.


In its pure form, gold has a metallic luster and is sun yellow, but when mixed or alloyed with other metals, such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), tellurium (Te), and iron (Fe), creates various color hues ranging from silver-white to green and orange-red.

agree Colin Rowe : "form"/"state", or simply "when pure"

Grazie Colin, forse è sufficiente mettere "pure gold", nel contesto.
