These particular stones are natural black quartz (found north of the Arctic Circle) inlaid into 14 karat gold links with pure gold nuggets to form a stunning bracelet. Pure veins of gold were forced into quartz by hydro-thermal pressure while they were both in a molten state. These rare formations are found in their natural state by hard rock miners. Pieces of exceptional quality are hand cut into individual stones and polished. Each gemstone of gold dispersed crystal is one of a kind.
