Champagne Aura Quartz

Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral belonging to the Quartz group. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth, found in most geological environments and a component in most rock types. Quartz varieties include microcrystalline Chalcedony types (each variety has its own page); and macrocrystalline Quartz types, which is clear in its purest form. Impure varieties include Amethyst, Citrine, Smokey Quartz and the massive variety Rose Quartz (each variety has its own page).

Quartz, also known as Rock Crystal, is further named after the growth types Phantom, Elestial, Double Terminated; locality Tibetan Black, Herkimer Diamond; inclusions Rutile, Tourmalinated; artificial coatings Champagne Aura, Opal Aura; and synthetic production Siberian Blue, Green; and that’s to name but a few (each has its own page).

Champagne Aura Quartz is the trade name of an attractive soft smokey gold Quartz. Champagne Aura is a surface treatment providing a single moderately saturated colour. The surface treatment is proprietary, but is believed to involve a Gold and Iron based coating that is deposited by spraying at high temperatures. Champagne Aura Quartz has a metallic sheen and a substantial dichroic appearance. The surface coating cannot be removed once applied.

Champagne Aura is used in the jewellery trade, and fine Champagne Aura clusters make desirable collectors pieces.
