Tears brought about by emotions have a different chemical composition than reflex and basal tears. Emotional tears contain more of the protein-based hormones prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and leu-enkephalin, a natural painkiller.
No tears are identical and you can’t tell if a tear is brought by in anger, sorrow or happiness.
Likewise “Tears of gold” are all individual, and their karat are kept a secret. I will make it up to you to decide if your Gold Tear refer to a sad or happy memory, or simply caused by the action of peeling an onion.
