GOLD QUARTZ GUIDE:
Delve into the world of gold quartz, a rare gem formed millions of years ago in quartz deposits under intense hydrothermal pressure deep within the earth. Found in underground hard rock mines in regions like Alaska, Canada, California, and Australia, gold quartz is prized for its exceptional rarity,
accounting for less than 1/20th of 1% of all gold found annually. Graded for quality by Orocal, our gold quartz boasts exquisite patterns and a high-purity vein of around 23%. Be wary of imitation gold quartz sold in some stores – ensure authenticity by purchasing directly from Orocal, backed by our 110% money-back guarantee and Certificate of Authenticity.
