Multi Aura Quartz Cutbase Point

Among the crystals, jewelry, and ritual goods on 14th Street is this crystal tower: Multi Aura Quartz Cutbase Point (listed at 175 grams, shop SKU MAQ72).

Multi-aura quartz is natural quartz with a metal-vapor coating that shows several iridescent colors on one piece. The coating is decorative; any meaning people give it belongs to personal practice. A cut base means the bottom has been sawn or ground flat so the piece can stand.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
