This is one of those rare and fascinating specimens known as wire gold, where the gold actually forms into intricate, wiry crystal structures. You don’t see this kind of natural formation very often, which makes it incredibly prized by collectors. The detail is just amazing—every twist and branch tells the story of how the gold crystallized deep in the earth. Unlike nuggets or flakes, this form shows the raw beauty of crystallized gold in its purest expression. A lot of people wonder how to tell if something like this is real gold or not, and that’s where simple tests can come in. One classic check is “The Water Test,” where real gold, being dense, will sink immediately to the bottom while lighter, fake materials may float or settle more slowly. Another common question is, “Can you test gold with a magnet?” The answer is no—real gold is not magnetic, so if a piece sticks to a magnet, it’s not pure gold. Of course, because this is a specimen, you wouldn’t want to do rough testing on it, but it’s good to know these tips. Collectors usually rely on provenance and professional testing to authenticate such rare pieces. All in all, this crystal is a natural wonder and one of those dream finds for any gold prospector.

A lot of my followers have been asking about how rare gold in quartz is and how to spot it in quartz veins. Gold in quartz is pretty rare, it happens when gold gets trapped in quartz during hydrothermal activity, which is why it's so prized by collectors. If you're trying to spot a quartz vein with gold, look for little flecks or streaks of gold, but keep in mind, not all gold is visible. Checking areas where there's been geological activity or past mining (which is what i am doing) is your best bet for finding it. You can also use a metal detector or test samples to be sure there’s gold in the quartz.

Quartz gold slab jewelry is becoming more and more popular, and it’s easy to see why. Unlike ordinary gold jewelry, these pieces showcase natural slabs of gold within quartz, making each one rare and completely unique. Their value often goes beyond regular gold jewelry since they combine both the preciousness of gold and the natural beauty of quartz. On top of that, many people appreciate the deeper meaning—quartz is known to symbolize clarity and strength, while gold has always represented prosperity and timeless elegance. The photos shown here are just examples from fellow gold enthusiasts, just like Dave, who also admires and creates this kind of work. Recently, Dave started making his own quartz gold slab jewelry too, and one of his most impressive creations so far was a cube-shaped slab styled like a dice—it came out absolutely stunning (check the video link in the description). With creative designs like that, this jewelry trend is only going to grow stronger.
