During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. The gold in quartz in this locket is especially beautiful, exhibiting a range of colours including milky white, grey, beige, and marbled with flecks of bright gold. The California Gold Rush of 1849 sparked an enthusiasm for gold quartz jewellery Enterprising goldsmiths in San Francisco selected particularly beautiful specimens of gold bearing quartz, sliced the white and gold gemstones into small slabs, and created striking pieces of jewellery. This locket is a good example of their craftsmanship.
