What Is It?
Aura Quartz is an enhanced crystal – a crystal that has undergone some form of treatment after coming out of the ground. In this case, it is clear Quartz crystal that has been coated with precious metals, including titanium, copper, iron, gold and others, in a process of applied heat and electrolysis.
All Aura Quartz have beautiful iridescence, which is where the name ‘Aura’ is derived. Different Aura Quartz colours are a combination of different precious metals to achieve their different effects.
How Is It Made?
The precious metals and mienrals are vapourized in a vacuum chamber and deposited onto Quartz crystals at a high temperature by electrostatic charge. The process, which Geology In calls “vacuum deposition”, as well as the materials used, mean that this is an expensive treatment. Aura Quartz as a result is generally at a mid to fairly high price point for quality pieces.
