Welcome to the world of Natural Oregon Gold-in-Quartz Slabs, a truly unique piece of geologic art, ready for display, collecting, or crafting.
These stunning mineral specimens are sourced directly from Oregon. Each slab showcases natural native gold beautifully embedded within a striking quartz matrix.
The Blackening Process
To dramatically enhance the visibility and "pop" of the native gold veins, the quartz matrix of each slab has been professionally treated using a method often employed by high-end opal and specimen miners. This permanent process utilizes a chemical reaction involving sugar water and sulfuric acid, which causes the quartz to turn a deep, permanent black.
- Result: The brilliant yellow of the gold is maximized against the contrasting black matrix, creating a spectacular, high-contrast visual display.
- Safety Note: This chemical treatment is permanent and stable, ensuring the beauty of the slab will last without risk.
Ideal Uses
These slabs are perfect for:
- Collectors: A unique addition to any mineral or precious metal collection.
- Jewelry Makers: Ideal for cabbing or creating one-of-a-kind statement pieces.
- Display: A beautiful, eye-catching conversation starter for your home or office.
