Geological Profile
Mineral Group: Quartz
Base Mineral: Clear Quartz (SiO₂ – Silicon Dioxide)
Crystal System: Trigonal
Hardness: 7 (Mohs Scale)
Transparency: Transparent to translucent
Treatment: Electroplated with metals such as platinum, silver, and trace elements using vacuum deposition
Appearance: Iridescent surface with soft rainbow hues, often pastel-toned with a shimmering glow
Common Sources:
The base Quartz is typically sourced from Brazil or Arkansas (USA). The iridescent effect is created through a man-made process performed in the United States or other specialist facilities.
Formation:
Aura Angel Quartz is produced by bonding metals (usually platinum and silver) to natural Quartz in a high-heat vacuum chamber. The result is a permanent coating that gives the crystal its iconic angelic, rainbow shimmer. This is not a dye or coating that can wear off — the metallic layer is molecularly bonded to the Quartz.
Interesting Fact:
Though not naturally occurring, the treatment process was developed in the 1980s and has since gained popularity for its unique visual appeal and ethereal energetic interpretations. Angel Aura Quartz is just one of several Aura varieties, each using different metals to produce different colours.
Metaphysical Insight
Aura Angel Quartz is seen as a high-vibration crystal used to support emotional healing, spiritual connection, and uplifting energy. It combines the amplifying qualities of Clear Quartz with the spiritual associations of the bonded metals, resulting in a stone often linked with the angelic realm, joy, and inner peace.
