I've never personally heard of gold micarta. If no one else has a source, you can always call these folks and inquire. They are a manufacturer and have minimums in a partial sheet. They also have a huge selection and if gold is available they probably can do it.

There is a gold colored Texalium by Hexcel.
It's a fiberglass fabric that is metalized.
It comes in colors of silver (most easily found), gold, green, orange (I think), red, and blue.
I haven't done any laminating with the gold yet, but I've seen some sheets done, and they were really spectacular.

A couple of years ago Kovals was at a knife show in Michigan and they had a bunch of the stuff. Kovals has changed hands and they may no longer sell it but give them a try

Another thing you might try is paper based natural color micarta. It has that a similar color only slightly darker. It darkens with age though. I have seen it on ebay, Not lately though.

I have used the butterscotch paper micarta and natural linen micarta sold by Sheffield. Both finish a nice gold color. I cannot post pictures, but if you email I can send you a couple of pics so you can see the colors.
