As sole proprietor/operator of this Etsy store, I've been selling native gold, gold nugget jewelry, and native platinum nuggets for roughly thirty five years. Back in the 80s and 90s, I was a full-time placer-gold miner. There's just something about hunting for (and working with) the elusive yellow metal known as gold I found captivating, so much so that it became my life's work.

If you don't know much about gold, gold ores/gold quartz, lapidary, gemology, mineralogy, geology, or mining for gold; if you don't care for jewelry at all, just buy and cache this beautiful rock shot full of gleaming precious metal.

GQ or 'gold quartz' is, basically, gold ore. When this ore is rich and aesthetic enough, it becomes desirable as jewelry-grade gemstone. For hundreds of years, jewelers have been incorporating it into spectacular, karat-gold, works of art. hotsell Almost any kind of rock can be cut and made into cabs, but GQ is a different mineral altogether because it carries the precious cargo, gold. You would not wish to crush this type of stone just to extract the gold from it. That would be akin to crushing gem grade diamond for use as an abrasive. Gem-grade gold quartz is as rare, precious, and beautiful a mineral complex as you will find on the planet.
