Text Box: The Music Box is made of gold. When the gold is pulled out of the ground it is usually found in the form of a nugget which is pictured above. The gold can then be melted down and molded just like silver can be. It is even more valuable than silver and has been used for money, jewelry, and decorations since the time of the Ancient Egyptians.
