Titanium Aura Quartz Cluster (one of a kind)
"Aura" crystals are natural gemstones that have been given a permanent coating of precious metals. This creates a mystical, iridescent sheen on the crystal's surface. Gold, indium, titanium, niobium and copper are the most commonly used metals for creating the aura effect. This crystal specimen is a large, natural quartz cluster plated with titanium.
The crystal is is heated to 1600° in a vacuum chamber, and then titanium vapor is added to the chamber. The titanium atoms fuse to the crystal's surface in an ultra-thin layer, creating the dramatic rainbow sheen.
