Entertainment Magazine: Iron Door Mine: Flint Carter: Gold and Silver in Quartz Cody Stones Cody Stones- Jewelry Grade Gold and Silver in QuartzThe beautiful yellow metal matrix in hard white quartz is the mark of Cody Stone. Similar to diamonds, the hard quartz provides a strong and timeless durability, protecting the soft, precious, noble metals. First popularized by Tiffany in the 1800's, this little-known, extremely valuable commodity of precious noble metals in the natural state could be the Gold Rush of the New Millennium! Due to thousands of years of mankind's efforts to extract pure gold from the rock by grinding the rock and destroying it, very little remains. Visible gold and silver in quartz is fetching 20 to 100 times the price of pure bullion, and is ever increasing in value. Hygraders pay huge lease fees to major corporations for specimen collecting on a small scale, but with massive mining procedures the majority of the material is destroyed, as it was in past centuries. A few small sources offer a variety of colors and types, but with no major amounts available. Usually collectors quickly acquire anything that hits the market. Only two major commercial sources exist today: the 16-to-1 Mine in Califomia and the Gimpie Mine in Australia.
Celebrity Mine ownership with a provenance is now the new pick of collectors. The law of supply and demand is calculated in millions of tons of destruction in minig worldwide, ever increasing the rarity and value. Recent reports by reputable sources state that with increasing demand and availability, prices are becoming almost prohibitive for the average consumer. Market price fetches $5 per carat ($11,350 per pound), better than twice the price of pure gold bullion. Many exotic stones will come and go, but the precious noble metals in their native quartz embody the natural origin of the two oldest commodities since the dawn of civilization: gold and silver. Only 500 pieces of this type of jewelry have been produced and 350 have been placed. A Certificate of Authenticity for each Cody Stone is provided with every piece of Cody Stone and kept in permanent company records.
