Core sense — native gold, as dust or nuggets; broken gold or silvergenerated
[An ism jamʿ, whose ism waḥda is formed with ة. Native gold, in the form of dust or of nuggets: this is the sense in which the word is generally used today:]
Broken gold. It is not so called except while in the dust of its mine, or broken. Or gold and silver before being wrought. Or broken, or crumbled, particles of gold and of silver before they are wrought.
When they are wrought they are called ذَهَبٌ and فِضَّةٌ, that is, uncoined gold and silver; when coined, عَيْنٌ.
[Properly] the term تبر should be used only of gold, but some apply it to silver as well; the تبر of silver, as well as of gold, is mentioned in a tradition.
Or gold universally; and silver. Or what is extracted from the mine, of gold and silver and all جَوَاهِر [here meaning native ores] of the earth, before it is wrought and used.
Or any جَوْهَر [or native ore] before it is used, of copper, brass, iron and the like; and any جوهر [or native ore] that is used, of copper and brass.
The word is sometimes applied to minerals other than gold and silver, such as copper, iron and lead, but generally to gold; and some say that its primary application is to gold, and that the other applications are later, or figurative.
Also broken pieces of glass.
