If you’re feeling a little down in the dumps lately, one remedy is opal aura quartz.

This crystal is a bringer of joy, and just the sight of it, with its rainbow colors dancing and sparkling over the stone like the fire of an opal, makes the viewer happier.

Happier still is the person who can hold it in their hand and partake in its healing qualities.

Besides bringing joy, opal aura quartz brings optimism and hope on those gray, cold days of late winter.

Opal Aura Quartz Properties vs. the Properties of Clear Quartz

Also called angel quartz, opal aura quartz is a bit different from “regular” quartz because it is partially synthetic. This doesn’t take away from its power at all, but gives it properties above and beyond those found in natural quartz. Opal aura quartz gets its iridescent colors from being bonded with platinum, and sometimes, silver. A clear crystal is heated to a high temperature then exposed to platinum and silver vapor. This allows the metals to bond on the atomic level with the silicon dioxide of the quartz.

Because of this process, called chemical vapor deposition, opal aura quartz is hard to find and can be a bit pricey. You can tell the real deal from imitations because the shimmering colors of opal aura quartz are not only intensely radiant and lustrous but exceptionally clear.

• You charge an opal aura quartz crystal the same way that you charge any other crystal. First, it needs to be cleansed. Just place it under the faucet or in a bowl of salt water. Some people wash their crystal in the sea. As the water runs over it, quietly ask that any negativity that lingers in the crystal be washed away. There won’t be much left over negativity in an opal aura crystal!
• After the crystal is cleansed, put it in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours then dedicate it to your purpose. Hold the crystal and imagine a bright but gentle light enveloping it. Say your dedication out loud then close your eyes and imagine the opal aura crystal bringing you joy, cleansing your auras, aligning your chakras or doing whatever it is you wish it to do. Then, say what you want aloud.
• For the first few days after it has been programmed and dedicated, you’ll want to keep the crystal in a place where it can be easily seen, such as on top of your dresser. Be sure to hold it a few times a day, and reprogram it if you feel the need.
