Few can resist the beauty of Aura Quartz crystals with their shimmering iridescence and metallic rainbow sheen in colors that defy nature yet enchant the senses. Though artificially enhanced by modern techniques, these crystals utilize the ancient powers of alchemy and synergy. By electrostatically bonding precious metals from the Earth onto the surface of natural Clear Quartz points or clusters, a new, unified color layer is created, a permanent blend that intensifies the properties of the original elements, as well as emanating a unique spectrum of subtle energies on its own.

Aura Quartz crystals have been part of the New Age movement since the 1980’s, prized for their ability to expand the consciousness and heal the physical and spiritual body with their extraordinary high vibration. While most practitioners prefer natural, untreated stones for their metaphysical work, many consider Aura Quartz, with its pure components and synergistic energies, to be the exception to the rule. 

The following is a list of some of the well-known varieties and their properties. It is by no means complete, as new combinations are continuously being created. All Aura Quartzes carry the general properties of Quartz, as well as the metal(s) with which it is paired.

The newly created “Aura” layer of these Quartzes is permanent and will not wash or rub off. It is, however, only on the surface, so using saws or grinders to facet or polish the crystal can cut through it and expose the original Quartz. Because of the process, Aura Quartzes can be brittle and should be handled with care. It should also be noted that some Aura Quartzes on the market are dyed, rather than alchemicalized, and should be purchased with caution, as some dyes can induce an adverse allergic reaction if worn on sensitive skin.

 

Angel, Opal and Rose Aura Quartzes are especially protective and uplifting during pregnancy, and are great to soothe morning sickness or fears associated with complications.
