slabs

The value of the gold bearing quartz varies with each piece. No two pieces are alike, each displaying its own unique characteristics depending on the color of the quartz, the amount of gold in the quartz and its distribution. The more gold present increases its value, which is based on the weight.
The color of the quartz can vary depending on accompanying minerals, but the bright white quartz is considered among the most highly prized, and it is this material we seek to produce. Our production shop cuts the gold bearing quartz into slabs. The slabs are then stablized, facilitating a smooth cutting process from slab to cabochons.
