These particular stones are natural black quartz (found north of the Arctic Circle) as well as the white, inlaid into 14 carat gold links 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.
