'''Gold(I) sulfide''' is the ] with the formula Au<sub>2</sub>S. It is one of two principal ]s of ]. Gold sulfides exist in nature as solid solutions with silver, which has the same covalent radius. '''Gold(I) sulfide''' is the ] with the formula {{chem2|Au2S}}. It is the principal ] of ]. It decomposes to gold metal and elemental sulfur, illustrating the "nobility" of gold.
