a cape or cloak of high value made with rams hide and gold ore crushed in windmill or something can be a way to get max outta gold ore but takes longer mabye only slightly more but also get a fancy cloak or cape, but the crushed ore is put in a dryed rams hide and washed and the lighter stone particales are washed away leaveing gold dust in the fur, its thought to come from eygpt (the gif i posted(its a big crappy gif not sure how well will work for some)) but its often attributed to early greeks but at one time was not an isolated process it has roots in at least a few places all over europe
