Native gold is the only ore of gold, a precious metal. Native gold veins may be good sites for a high-value room, since mining the vein still leaves a valuable gold floor, ready for smoothing and engraving.

When mined, hunks of native gold are called gold nuggets. Gold nuggets can be smelted to produce 4 gold bars. Gold nuggets can also be smelted with a silver-bearing ore to create the alloy electrum. Using low-value silver ores (such as tetrahedrite) in this reaction will result in a net value increase for your fortress (though the electrum bars are each less valuable than gold bars, you will have twice as many total bars).
