Round 7: Tossup 13

According to the Sunan Abi Dawud, Muslim men cannot wear silk or this material. (10[2])Melchior gave this material to an infant to portray the child’s future kingship. (10[1])It doesn’t contain copper, but during rituals, yopo seeds were inhaled from plates of this material by the Muisca. (-5[1])Some objects of this material in Reformed Egyptian were deciphered with the help of Angel Moroni. Joseph Smith (10[2])translated the Book of Mormon from that set of plates (10[1])of this material. Due to idolatry, God killed the Israelites for worshipping an animal made from this metal.
