california gold quartz veins. . veins of gold bearing quartz are well known in california and historically they have produced millions of dollars worth of gold. their formation and the gold they contain are of interest. quartz mines are found and worked in a great many counties in california from siskiyou on the north to san diego on the south.
gold bearing quartz is one of the world's rarest forms of natural gold. it is found underground by hard rock miners in only a few locations in the world. most of the world's production comes from a handful of mines in northern california.
