The coatings are extremely thin and create a beautiful iridescent effect by refracting light as it passes through the coating. An intense radiant energy emanates from the different varieties of Aura Quartz according to the different combination of metals present.

Chakra Alignment: Crown; affects all Chakras
Element: None
Origin of Name & Mythology: From the remarkable aura surrounding specimens.
An intense radiant energy emanates from the different varieties of Aura Quartz according to the different combination of metals present.
In addition, the varying colours are able to highly stimulate the relevant chakra, and to a lesser degree the multi-colour iridescence exhibited by all Aura Quartz stimulates all of the chakras.
As the deposition only affects the quartz as a thin outer coating, it stimulates and enhances the outer layers of the quartz's energy field. Aura quartz is therefore used primarily to enhance and stimulate our own 'subtle bodies', the aura, or layers of energy surrounding our physical selves, while the inner crystal still holds the same core energy as untreated clear quartz.
Colour: Clear with opalescent / pearly iridescence
Chakra Alignment: Crown; affects all Chakras
Angel Aura integrates the individual properties of clear quartz, silver and platinum. The combination of the clear quartz with the pure Crown Chakra metals creates a strong connection with spirit.
Similar to Aqua Aura, Angel Aura fills the body with clear, white light, strengthening life force, and opens the Crown Chakra, creating a clear connection with the higher realms, particularly the angelic realm. It, too, can be used to clear the body’s energy field.

Aqua Aura creates an unusual combination, making you very aware of the physical body, including any illness, imbalances and deficiencies, while at the same time being open to the spiritual. Its beautiful aqua colour sooths and clears the Throat Chakra, aiding communication with both the physical and angelic realms, and leaves the user open to channel, if that is what is desired.
Aqua Aura quartz also relaxes the respiratory system, easing breathing in asthma sufferers. Aqua aura fills the body with light, generating warmth, and a sense of being both substantial and large. Many healers use it to clear the aura, or subtle bodies.
