I didn’t really pay attention to Aura Crystals – a name that is given to any Quartz crystal whose surface is permanently bonded with natural, vaporized metal oxides (Silver, Platinum, Titanium, Zircon, Gold, Cobalt, Niobium, etc. or a combination of these) through a process called Vapor or Vacuum Deposition – until I entered the business side of crystals.
And prior to that, I only had one Angel Aura Quartz crystal and didn’t really get any special vibes from it. It was pretty, but that was it. I also noticed that when I scratched the surface of the crystal with my fingernail the pastel rainbow metallic film came off, which told me that the aura crystal wasn’t of high quality to begin with.😐
Since then I have been somewhat obsessed with Aura Crystals, mostly wanting to know and even witness the process. What can I say, I am a bit of a nerd and obsessed with acquiring knowledge.🤓
Which brings me to the topic of this blog post: What is so special about Aura Quartz crystals?
As I don’t quite understand my own growing fascination with them and the actual process of how they came to be, here’s my take on what makes them stand out:
+ Their intense metallic, vivid and iridescent colors instantly pulls you in and makes you say “wow”! I’d like to think that Aura Crystals work best through Color Therapy
+ They’re shiny, sparkly and look really cool on a cluster of crystals.
+ They really command your attention somehow because of their striking beauty.
+ The shape of the Quartz specimen – whether it’s a little point, a tumbled stone, a polished self-standing (or flat-bottom) tower, a cluster, a sphere, a geode, a Quartz unicorn carving or a giant, magnificent crystal is truly enhanced by the Aura treatment; you simply CANNOT pass by and ignore it.
I didn’t think they were special until I started to buy them for the shop, until I actually started to see better quality Aura Crystals, until I saw that people really loved them.
Also important to know: Aura Quartz is NOT the same as Aurora Quartz!
I learned recently that there is a natural Quartz crystal called Aurora Quartz or Anandalite. Apparently it exhibits natural rainbow flashes from within the crystal and it looks similar to Apophyllite.
Another important question: do you feel anything off these Aura Crystals?
This question is highly subjective and will vary from person to person as some people will say that Aura Crystals are manmade, while others will say it’s an alchemical union between nature (crystals) and science (the aura treatment process). But even manmade stuff uses raw materials from the earth so if you think about it, literally EVERYTHING comes from the earth.
I will however, say this: always trust your own intuition. Always trust your own feelings: if you love Aura Quartz, then keep on loving it; if you don’t, then you don’t. It’s that simple.😊
If you’re not feeling anything off of them but still like them, you can always put your Aura crystals on or near a Clear Quartz cluster to cleanse or purify them or put them around other natural crystals. A Selenite slab would also be good for this.
