The deposits in the Sierra Nevada were mostly gold-quartz veins formed through hydrothermal deposition (Alpers Hunerlach May Hotheim 2005) Many prospectors claimed that a person could tell the difference between potentially gold rich quartz (deemed "live" quartz) and "dead" quartz just by looking at a sample (Hill 2006) Get price
