Aura Quartz
Titanium Aura Quartz is formed through a process of bonding quartz with vaporized titanium and other kinds of metals. Next, the stone is placed in a vacuum chamber and heated to more than 1650 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat encourages the titanium to bond with the outer layer of the quartz. As the quartz loses its heat, the titanium becomes a permanent iridescent film on the surface of the quartz.
