Aura Quartz: Meaning, Properties and How to Use It
Aura quartz is the bright, iridescent quartz sold as angel aura, titanium aura and a dozen other colour names. It is used for mood and delight — traditions attach it to joy, playfulness and lifting a flat spell. It is the most openly decorative stone on the shelf.
What tradition says
What is Aura Quartz known for?
Clear quartz points and clusters are placed in a vacuum chamber and vapour of gold, titanium, niobium or silver is bonded to the surface, giving permanent iridescent film in pink, blue, violet or peacock. The process dates from the 1980s. Crystal practice assigns colours to moods much as it does with painted things, and uses aura quartz where cheerfulness is the point rather than depth.
The practice
How do you use Aura Quartz?
Treat it as a mood object and place it where you will see it often: a desk, a shelf by the kettle, the corner of a room that feels dull.
Pick the colour by how it makes you feel, not by a chart.
It is not a stone for pockets, since rubbing eventually wears the coating thin.

Questions
What else do people ask about Aura Quartz?
Does the coating wear off?
It is bonded and durable on a shelf, but handling, pockets and abrasive cleaning will dull and eventually remove it. Keep it dry, dust it with a soft brush and do not polish it.
Is aura quartz worth buying at all?
If you love how it looks, yes. Just price it as decoration. A treated cluster should cost far less than a fine natural specimen of the same size, and any seller calling it rare is selling a story.
