The History of Titanium Quartz

Titanium quartz is one of the many human-enhanced quartz crystals treated to improve their appearance. Other metal-coated crystals include angel aura, aqua aura, flame aura, and opal aura/rainbow quartz.

Metals used to give these crystals a metallic sheen are gold, copper, indium, niobium, and titanium. Through vapour deposition, quartz crystals are placed inside a vacuum chamber and heated to 871 °C (or 1600 °F).

In the case of titanium quartz, only little heat is used to embed the titanium layers and give it its distinct rainbow colours. The colours stay on permanently and the crystal remains durable.

Treated crystals are used as gemstones, jewellery, and decorative pieces.
