Stone 101
Natural quartz wearing a man-made metal coat. That rainbow shine is added in a lab.
Aura crystals start as real quartz, then get a thin layer of metal in a vacuum chamber. Here you'll find aqua and tangerine aura points, angels, a cat bowl and silver pendants.
The basics
The crystal underneath is natural, usually clear quartz. It's heated in a vacuum chamber, and a metal like gold or titanium is turned to vapour so it bonds to the surface.
That film is extremely thin, which is why it shimmers like a soap bubble. Gold gives aqua aura its blue. Titanium gives the rainbow look.
Rituals, not rules
These are traditions people enjoy, not promises. Pick the one you keep coming back to.
Care
Straight talk
Both, in a way. The quartz is natural, but the colour is man-made, every time. No aura colour grows that way in the ground. Our titles say Aura, and many add Enhanced, so you always know a piece is coated. If the coating wears off, you'll see plain quartz underneath.

Good questions
The quartz is real and natural. The colour isn't: it's a thin metal coating added by people. Think of it as a natural crystal with a man-made finish.
Clear quartz coated with a thin layer of gold, which turns it a bright, shimmery blue. It's one of the most popular aura colours.
A quick rinse is fine. Dry them right away and avoid soap, salt and cleaners, which can dull or strip the coating.
The coating can scratch or wear where it rubs against other things. Store it on its own and handle it gently to keep the shine.
