Where did gold come from and why is it rare?

Well like all the things in earth , gold is also star dust. Also not all stars can produce gold at their death.
But it is believed that most of the gold elements that were a part of earth when it was born are in the earth's core, but the gold that we are mining nowadays are latest additions to our earth as meteorites.
