<p>How is aqua aura quartz made?</p>
<p>Is it a transparent non color quartz transformed into a blue quarts but only on the outside or on the inside too? What happens if I break an aqua aura crystal? Can the quartz be blue before the dying process begins? Do you have a before and after photo of a quartz turned into a aqua aura?</p>

How is aqua aura quartz made?

Is it a transparent non color quartz transformed into a blue quarts but only on the outside or on the inside too? What happens if I break an aqua aura crystal? Can the quartz be blue before the dying process begins? Do you have a before and after photo of a quartz turned into a aqua aura?
