Having a mom who is obsessed with jewelry has its uses. Because of this, I know that these toilets can't possibly be solid 24 karat gold, because pure gold is too soft. Way too soft. As I recall, gold that pure is almost as soft as clay. You'd end up leaving butt prints on the seat.
God only knows how much the whole thing weighs. It'll be heavier than lead.
FYI, 24k gold is not really that soft. It just scratches very easily. Actually the gold content of most jewelry outside the US is 18k minimum. My "medic alert" bracelet is 18k, it is scratched from wearing it to work. I prefer 14k because of the durability uy 18k is a lovely color.
