Gold in quartz was formed millions of years ago while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold.

The California Gold Rush of 1849 sparked an enthusiasm for gold quartz jewellery Enterprising goldsmiths in San Francisco selected particularly beautiful specimens of gold bearing quartz, sliced the White/Black gold quartz matrix specimens into small slabs, and created striking pieces of jewellery.
