Does this rock in any way help us understand how gold is formed? Is the rock otherwise quartz? I’m guessing but maybe molten lava contains gold and settles at lowest point unless a rock like this blocks golds flow.

Im not a geologist, but, the larger rocks crack and veins of other material can fill that crack. Sometimes you'll find pretty veins of quartz.

Im not sure what that nice white color rock is

Gold and quartz is often found together… all the prospecting vids I ever saw they get very excited when they find the quartz vein
