Natural Gold in Quartz

Natural Gold in Quartz Specimens are crystalline gold nuggets that are still attached to their host rock, which is usually quartz. Gold in quartz is the result of hard rock mining, where veins of gold are blasted apart exposing the gold laden quartz within the vein. Gold veins that are so rich in gold that the gold is visible to the naked eye are very rare, and veins so rich that they produce the type of natural gold in quartz specimens that you see on our websites are so rare that there are very few locations world wide that produce any quantity of gold in quartz specimens.
