Cornish gold refers to gold deposits found in Cornwall, England, historically significant for its tin and copper mining. These deposits are primarily quartz veins within granite rocks, formed deep underground over millions of years through geological processes. While Cornwall's gold production has been limited, it remains a symbol of the region’s rich mineral heritage. Today, Cornish gold is valued by collectors and artisans, often used in jewelry, and represents a connection to Cornwall’s mining history and geological uniqueness.
