Aura Quartz From India 3.20CT
Aura Quartz from India typically refers to Anandalite (or "Aurora Quartz"), a naturally iridescent quartz found in Maharashtra, or clear quartz mined in India and artificially treated with metallic coatings to produce a vibrant, rainbow sheen.
Natural vs. Treated Aura Quartz
- Anandalite (Natural): A rare, naturally occurring quartz variant sourced primarily from the Jalgaon and Nashik regions of Maharashtra, India. Its signature rainbow iridescence comes from trace rhodium inclusions rather than laboratory treatments.
- Treated Aura Quartz: Standard, ethically sourced Indian quartz—often quarried in regions like Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh—that undergoes a vacuum deposition process. Vaporized precious metals like titanium, platinum, or gold are permanently bonded to the crystal's surface to create colors like Angel, Titanium, or Rainbow Aura.
