Aura Quartz is an enhanced crystal where a natural Quartz point or cluster has been coated with metal to give an iridescent metallic sheen. Various metals used in creating Aura Quartz include: gold, platinum, titanium, niobium and copper. These various metals and combinations of metals over the Quartz creates the different shades of Aura Quartz.

Aura Quartz is created through a process called vacuum deposition. Quartz is placed in a vacuum chamber. The Quartz is heated to extremely high temperatures reaching 1600 °F in a vacuum chamber, and then metal vapor is added to the chamber. The metals bond to the surface of the crystal and it creates a metallic iridescent sheen. 

Clear Quartz, also known as “Rock Crystal”, is pure silicon dioxide. Clear Quartz is named from the Greek word “krystallos”, meaning “ice”. Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, with a chemical composition of SiO₂. All other varieties of Quartz, such as purple Amethyst, yellow Citrine, green Praisolite, or pink Rose Quartz are colored due to tiny inclusions in the silica. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth and found all over it! Most of the sand in the world's beaches is actually the mineral Quartz. Quartz is resistant to weathering so as some rocks weather away, Quartz will remain. It forms at all temperatures and is abundant in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
