At this size the stones are visually striking yet balanced in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlated 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.

The deep iridescent blue makes it a particularly dramatic decorative stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is natural Clear Quartz with a man-made iridescent coating, and each stone varies in coating intensity and internal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Crown\u003cbr\u003eBirthstone: April\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: All\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Dragon, Tiger\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Sun\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7 (quartz base)\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Quartz with man-made Dark Blue AB coating\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: China\u003cbr\u003eForm: Tumbled Stone\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished, plated\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 15-35 mm (0.6-1.4 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: Single stone, 100 g, or 1 lb (454 g bulk quantity)\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single stone or bulk quantity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is selected for its quality, beauty, and visual consistency.
