Coated Aura Quartz

Coated or Aura Quartz

Coated Quartz is natural Clear Quartz which has undergone a special infusion process using pure gold, silver, platinum, indium, titanium or copper. This process involves heating the Quartz to extremely high temperatures (in excess of 1600�F) then adding the purified metal in a vacuum, which bonds it to the surface. The result is a permanent coating which has been bonded with the crystal at a molecular level. Although the coating is very thin, usually only 1 micron, it cannot be rubbed or scratched off and the results are quite spectacular.
In nature, Quartz can be found with inclusions of all the above metals, but they are often quite rare and therefore tend to be very expensive.
Metaphysically, coated or Aura Quartz crystals have all of the properties of Quartz, but with the additional benefits of the individual metal. Gold, in particular, is considered the master healer, with platinum having the highest vibration for spiritual work.

Aqua Aura
Coating: Gold
Colour: Electric peacock blue metallic sheen
Properties: Aids psychic abilities acting as a channel opener, very intense energy, excellent for activating sluggish chakras and for smoothing the aura after a healing treatment. Good for acute conditions (if a chronic condition is indicated, Opal Aura is preferable)

Tanzine Aura (rare)
Coating: Indium or Indium & Gold
Colour: Violet/Indigo, if with gold then also has metallic sheen
Properties: Similar in appearance to Aqua Aura (slightly paler) but resonates with the Violet Ray (Violet Flame) rather than the Blue Ray. High vibration crystal which can help with non-attachment and releasing Karmic debt, therefore excellent for ascension work. Aids intuition on a slightly different level to Aqua Aura, providing access to the Source for inner-knowledge and enlightenment. Called Tanzine after its similarities to Tanzanite.

Coating: Platinum or Platinum & Silver
Colour: White with subtle metallic rainbow hues
Properties: Resonates with the Violet, Silver and Blue Rays. Exceptionally protective crystal, yet with a delightful, serene vibration. Excellent for sensitive types and also where chronic conditions are indicated. Wonderful for angelic communication. Purifying, calming, restores inner peace.

Titanium/Flame Aura
Coating: Titanium & Niobium
Colour: Vibrant deep metallic rainbow colour, like looking at oil on water
