 The Geology of coarse gold formation
Its hard to imagine things like gold or quartz being dissolved by water solutions, but if the water is hot enough, the pressure high enough, and the chemistry is right (acids, and other elements like sulfur are present), then gold, quartz and other things you don’t expect to see dissolving will go into solution.
The gold is derived from a series of small quartz veins which occur in shale in a 2 mile wide belt on a pediment east of the range front along the Majuba mountains.
The tendency for coarse gold to form in smaller veins is not a hard and fast rule and there are some large veins which have produced very coarse gold (like the 16 to 1 mine in the Allegheny District of California).
