Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Aura Quartz

Few can resist the beauty of Aura Quartz crystals with their shimmering iridescence and metallic rainbow sheen in colors that defy nature yet enchant the senses. Though artificially enhanced by modern techniques, these crystals utilize the ancient powers of alchemy and synergy. By electrostatically bonding precious metals from the Earth onto the surface of natural Clear Quartz points or clusters, a new, unified color layer is created, a permanent blend that intensifies the properties of the original elements, as well as emanating a unique spectrum of subtle energies on its own. [101 Hall, 40][Hall En, 143][Simmons, 33, 47][Eason, 243]

Aura Quartz crystals have been part of the New Age movement since the 1980’s, prized for their ability to expand the consciousness and heal the physical and spiritual body with their extraordinary high vibration. While most practitioners prefer natural, untreated stones for their metaphysical work, many consider Aura Quartz, with its pure components and synergistic energies, to be the exception to the rule. [Simmons, 33, 47][101 Hall, 40][Eason, 243]

The following is a list of some of the well-known varieties and their properties. It is by no means complete, as new combinations are continuously being created. All Aura Quartzes carry the general properties of Quartz, as well as the metal(s) with which it is paired.

Angel Aura Quartz - Clear Quartz bonded with Platinum and Silver, sometimes Gold or other trace metals; exhibits a light blue, rainbow and silvery iridescence like the gossamer wings of angels. It carries a very loving and sweet energy, stimulating the spirit and elevating one’s mood. Meditating with this crystal allows one to enter a state of serenity and peace, purification and rest, and to go beyond the body to perceive and receive help from one’s angel guides. Angel Aura assists in remembering lessons from past incarnations and attuning to one’s spiritual purpose. It is a marvelous aid for recognizing beauty, from Nature and Spirit, from within, and in others. Use Angel Aura at the Throat Chakra for loving communications, in romantic pursuits, in caring for children and the aged, and in all healing situations. It may also be used to align and purify all chakras, allowing for the Rainbow Light Body activation and integration. Angel Aura is an all-healer, harmonizing one’s energy field with the physical body, and is thought to be particularly helpful for autism, Asperger’s syndrome and the nervous system. It is great for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and for use in Reiki healing, reflexology and shiatsu. [Simmons, Ahsian, 33-34][Melody En, 649][Eason, 179]

The newly created “Aura” layer of these Quartzes is permanent and will not wash or rub off. It is, however, only on the surface, so using saws or grinders to facet or polish the crystal can cut through it and expose the original Quartz. Because of the process, Aura Quartzes can be brittle and should be handled with care. It should also be noted that some Aura Quartzes on the market are dyed, rather than alchemicalized, and should be purchased with caution, as some dyes can induce an adverse allergic reaction if worn on sensitive skin. [Simmons, 33][101 Hall, 40]

Aura Quartz Uses and Purposes

Angel, Opal and Rose Aura Quartzes are especially protective and uplifting during pregnancy, and are great to soothe morning sickness or fears associated with complications.

Platinum Aura Quartzes are divination crystals. They include varieties such as Angel, Opal, Ruby, Rose and Sunshine Auras, and work best for getting a glimpse of the potential in a situation which might have either positive or negative outcomes.

Sometimes they are used to determine the answer to a question that can be answered by yes or no. For this, hold the stone in your right hand and focus completely on the question. Say it aloud, then examine the aura of the crystal. If it seems bright the answer is yes, if dull then the answer is no.
