This 16.02 gram gold bearing quartz was found in the Sierra Mining District of Northern California. It is cut into slabs using diamond saw blades. The slabs range from 1-3 mm with an average of 2.3 MM thick. Each slab can be cut into smaller pieces for stones. The gold was formed in quartz deposits and when erosion took place these veins of gold would break out into the rivers and form individual gold nuggets or gold flake. The gold still left in the quartz is called gold bearing quartz or was called gold lode back in the eighteen hundreds. We often use Opticon to stabilize the quartz.
