quartz

[treasureace14]

my property is overflowing with quarts and even some rose quartz.
my question is are they worth anything?

Now that depends on what exactly you've got. If you have any gem-quality pieces that can be extracted from the quartz, then maybe.

By gem-quality, I mean transparent pieces which could be crafted into semi-precious jewelry. Preferably colored (citrine, amethyst, smoky quartz, etc.)

But if it is just basic quartz, white and non-transluscent, then it isn't worth much of anything.

Could you post a few pictures?

Yes they can be worth a ton of ka,ching Can you see any veins of heavy metal running through them?
Rose Quartz has been associated with gold also; any picks?
