Goldschmidt classification

The Goldschmidt classification, proposed by geochemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt in the early 1920s, sorts elements into siderophile, chalcophile, lithophile, and atmophile groups by their preferred host phase.

Goldschmidt tolerance factor

The Goldschmidt tolerance factor is a dimensionless index introduced by Victor Goldschmidt in 1926 that predicts from ionic radii whether ions form a stable perovskite structure.

Goldsmith

A goldsmith is a craftsperson who designs and makes objects, chiefly jewelry, from gold and other precious metals. The term has always covered work in both gold and silver.
