Gold-in-quartz was formed 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. Jewelry made from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's. During the Gold Rush era in the American West, most of the gold quartz was mined in California around the San Francisco area. A wonderful gold quartz necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! Originally an antique brooch, the piece has been expertly converted into a stylish pendant that hangs from a chain. Crafted in 14kt gold, this unusual piece is substantial in size, and forms the shape of a saber sword...
