Gemstone Obelisk Point 9cm – Aurura Crystal Quartz – Purple

A polished quartz obelisk standing approximately 9cm tall, coated with a metallic vapour treatment that gives the surface a deep purple iridescent sheen. This is the most dramatic colour in the aurora crystal quartz obelisk range — richer, darker, and more visually intense than the other three. The purple surface shifts between violet, deep blue, and flashes of magenta as light moves across it, creating an effect that is closer to a gemstone than a decorative object. If the pale green whispers, this one speaks clearly. The Colour Purple aurora quartz gets its colour from a combination of metals in the vapour deposition process — typically gold and titanium together, which produce the violet-to-magenta spectrum. The result is a coating that looks almost like the surface of a soap bubble frozen in its deepest, most saturated moment. It is not a flat purple; it shifts constantly through violet, indigo, blue, and flashes of warm pink depending on the angle. Because the coating is denser than the paler colours in this range, the quartz beneath is less visible. The obelisk reads as more opaque and more deeply coloured, which gives it a weightier, more substantial visual presence. Where the pale green lets light through and shows the crystal structure, the purple commands attention on its surface. In bright or direct light, the colour is at its most vivid — flashes of magenta and deep blue that catch the eye from across a room. In softer or ambient light, the obelisk appears as a rich, dark violet with a subtle metallic sheen. Both presentations are striking, but the character changes significantly between bright and low lighting. Purple is the colour most likely to be chosen by someone who already knows they like crystals and wants something bold. It makes a statement on a shelf or desk, and pairs well with dark surfaces, black display stands, or other deep-coloured crystals like amethyst and labradorite.
