I do not know of any gold that is like transparent glass. But God may have elements available to him that are not on our periodic table.

Gold films, made suitably thin, can exhibit high transparency and high conductivity at the same time. These properties are desirable, for example, when designing electrical contacts for light-emitting and light-harvesting devices. Gold deposited with conventional methods on transparent materials such as glass, however, has a strong tendency to form island films that exhibit strong optical (plasmonic) absorption and negligible electrical conductivity.
