- The Researchers discovered that the piezo catalytic effect of quartz under seismic stress causes the accumulation of gold in quartz veins.
- Orogenic gold systems are commonly found in mountainous regions where large-scale geological processes, such as the collision of tectonic plates, have occurred.
- The Large gold nuggets are often found in orogenic quartz veins formed during the tectonic processes that create mountains.
- These nuggets form because, during earthquakes, the stress on quartz crystals causes a reaction that deposits gold on their surfaces.
- This process happens repeatedly leading to the accumulation of gold nuggets.
