If you want to buy Aura Minerals, you'll find one of the most beautiful collections of these special crystals in the German-speaking region at Crystal Paradise. Aura Minerals fascinate with their extraordinary array of colors – a spectacle of rainbow shimmer, deep blue, golden shine, and glowing violet that hardly any other stone can achieve.
What are Aura Minerals?
Aura Minerals are created through a special vacuum vapor-deposition process, in which natural precious metals such as gold, titanium, platinum, or indium are applied to the surface of a crystal. High-quality clear quartz or amethyst usually serve as the starting material. The fine metal layers permanently bond with the crystal lattice, creating this unmistakable metallic sheen that you have to see to believe. The result is not an artificial product – the core remains a genuine, naturally grown stone that is simply refined through the process.
Aura Stones – Color Play Meets Aesthetics
In the world of healing stones, Aura Minerals are prized for their intense, radiant energy. The effect is largely determined by the base crystal: a clear quartz Aura is considered clarifying and energizing, while an amethyst Aura is said to be calming and to promote intuition. The applied precious metals – especially gold and titanium – are said to additionally protect and strengthen the energy field. Many people use Aura Stones in meditation, as room decoration, or as a personal companion in everyday life.

Buying Aura Minerals – What Should You Look For?
Not all Aura Minerals are the same. You can recognize high-quality pieces by an even, deep coating without flaking spots and by the purity of the base crystal. At Crystal Paradise, we source our Aura Minerals exclusively from trustworthy dealers who focus on natural base materials and non-toxic vapor-deposition processes. Every stone is personally inspected by us before it finds its way to you. So if you want to buy Aura Minerals, you can be sure that you're getting a genuine, verified piece – not a cheap imitation from mass production.
To go along with Aura Minerals, we also recommend taking a look at our Amethyst Geodes – a wonderful addition for any crystal fan. If you like it even more spectacular, you'll find further natural wonders of a special kind among our Agatized Amethysts from Uruguay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Aura Minerals genuine natural stones?
Yes – the core of every Aura Mineral is a genuine, naturally grown crystal, usually clear quartz or amethyst. Only the surface is refined through a vacuum vapor-deposition process with precious metals such as gold, titanium, or platinum. The colors are permanent and not painted on.
How do I properly care for my Aura Minerals?
Aura Minerals are low-maintenance, but should not be scrubbed or dipped in harsh cleaning agents. A soft, dry cloth is completely sufficient. For energetic cleansing, selenite plates, moonlight, or smudging smoke are suitable – water baths are less advisable, as they can damage the metal layer over the long term.
Who are Aura Stones a good gift for?
Aura Stones make a wonderful gift for people who love crystals, healing stones, or simply particularly beautiful natural objects. Their glowing colors also make them popular as room decoration – regardless of whether one believes in their energetic effect or not. Feel free to also check out our Christmas Gifts Collection.
