Dark Blue AB Plated Crystal Quartz Tumbled Stone - 15-35 mm

Crystal Quartz Plated Dark Blue AB Tumbled Stones show natural Clear Quartz finished with a deep blue aurora-borealis coating that produces iridescent flashes of blue, violet and subtle metallic tones. The coating enhances surface reflectivity while the quartz's internal clarity and natural inclusions stay visible beneath, and the tumble leaves a smooth, tactile surface. At this size the stones are visually striking yet balanced in the hand.

Plated Quartz is associated with visual energy, contrast and a reflective, amplifying presence, and is often chosen by people who want a bold, light-catching stone for display or focus. It is commonly kept on a desk or altar, carried, or set among other pieces. The deep iridescent blue makes it a particularly dramatic decorative stone.

This piece is natural Clear Quartz with a man-made iridescent coating, and each stone varies in coating intensity and internal structure.

Geological Information
This stone is natural Clear Quartz, silicon dioxide of the trigonal system at a Mohs hardness of 7, finished with a man-made aurora-borealis ("AB") surface coating in a deep blue tone. The coating is produced by bonding a fine metallic layer to the quartz surface through vacuum deposition, creating a permanent iridescent finish of blue and violet flashes; the base crystal is natural quartz, while the dark blue iridescent surface is a man-made enhancement and is disclosed as such, with the natural inclusions of the quartz remaining visible beneath. The specific "Dark Blue AB" coating is a modern decorative finish rather than a distinct natural variety, so the metaphysical associations here draw on the natural clear-quartz base. Clear Quartz is among the most abundant minerals on Earth; the base quartz for this material is sourced from China, with the coating applied in a laboratory.

Care Note
The aura coating is a bonded surface layer that can scratch or wear with abrasion. Handle gently, clean only with a soft dry cloth, and store apart from harder stones.
