All the elements found on Earth and in the whole cosmos can be found in stars. However the rarer elements like Gold are only created in stars up to 10 times the size of our Sun in a supernova explosion. The energy released in a supernova is massive resulting in very high temperatures. These temperatures create the conditions for these elements to be formed. As a result of this the elements made in a supernova are very rare. That's why on earth Gold is very expensive as it is in demand as there isn't much of it compared to other elements.
