This Blue Aura Quartz is a small piece of clear quartz that’s been enhanced with a thin metallic coating—specifically vapor‑deposited titanium or other oxides—to give it a glowing blue color and iridescent surface. Each specimen is unique in its shape, color intensity, and pattern, making it a compelling addition to a geology display, classroom mineral kit, or curiosity shelf.
