Gold-bearing quartz is quartz stone with naturally embedded gold veins. It comes in many colors, such as yellow, rose, purple, grey, white and black. During the Gold Rush in California, gold quartz was utilized in jewelry pieces, with this outstanding brooch just such an example. Crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, it showcases a glorious black gold-quartz stone at the center. It's bold design adds to the aura of strength and power as well as the sense of mystery the quartz evokes. A wonderful American piece that will look fabulous on the lapel of your coat, a jacket or that floor length cape you're keeping in the back of your closet!
