This ring features a gold in white quartz stone set in a durable 14k gold band with a pane of natural Alaskan gold nuggets on either side. 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. Heavy and extremely durable.
