"GOLDEN" QUARTZ
Hwy 49 road-cut,
Carson Hill,
Calaveras County, California
Cx: Jake and Dana Harper, 10/29/1998
Size: 2 3/8" X 1 3/4" Price: 54.00 Description: A beautiful golden Quartz crystal group that is colored by a thin coating of iron oxides. There is also a rainbow irridescence to the crystal faces when the piece is rotated - that being due, I am guessing to the oxides as well. I discovered this pocket in a road-cut cliff on historic hwy 49, south of the Carson Hill Mine.
