California gold

In light of JPF’s recent interview, I have been wondering if there is something special about California gold. Did it produce a better monatomic variety? I assume it was used for the 1855 Sonora Aero Club and 1897 airships as a room temperature superconductor for plasma. Maybe it was also used by Ambrose Bierce for the Aerophon?

Did a young Baron Von Richtofen fly in an airship before the Wright Brothers flew?

I’ve never heard there is anything chemically special about California Gold. But there are some lakes with no good drainage to the sea (Salton Sea, Mohave Lake, Owens lake, Panamint, Death Valley etc). So there may be deposits of natural monatomic gold as was discovered in the earth in Arizona by David Hudson. No one to my knowledge has ever mentioned mining monatomic gold from any of these watersheds.
