Cobalt blue aura quartz point pendant in electroformed copper setting. The crystal features a clean and uniform cobalt blue with a soft metallic reflection, produced by vacuum titanium deposition on natural quartz. The circular copper setting frames the raw end of the crystal with a more minimalist profile than other pieces in the series. Available in the Ecos del Taller collection.

This specific piece
The point is longer and more slender than the metallic blue version in the same series. The cobalt blue has a more contained but uniform saturation across the entire surface: no sharp transitions or pronounced streaks. The circular copper ring gives the piece a more geometric profile compared to the organic profile of the other versions.
The main difference from the metallic blue is in the crystal's proportion (longer and thinner) and tone (contained cobalt vs. electric blue with streaks).
Aura Quartz: What is PVD coating?
Aura quartz is obtained in a vacuum chamber where titanium vapors are deposited at high temperatures onto natural quartz. The metal adheres in atomically thin layers (PVD process). The resulting color is structural—light interference in metallic layers—not painted. It is permanent and does not alter with use.
Care
Aura crystal requires no special care. For copper: zip bag for storage, no water or perfumes, dry cloth. See: jewelry care guide.
Quartz in Lapidary Tradition
Known as krustallos by the Greeks (eternal ice), quartz has accompanied jewelry and lapidary since the Neolithic. Egyptians, Mesoamericans, and Celts carved it into beads, mirrors, and ceremonial objects. Polished rock crystal was considered an object of power in almost all ancient cultures.
In crystal tradition, clear quartz is associated with clarity of thought. Cobalt blue adds the calm of deep water to that field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the only difference from metallic blue the tone?
Also the proportion: cobalt is a longer, more slender point, with a more geometric circular ring setting. The blue is more contained and uniform compared to the electric blue with streaks of the metallic version.
Is the color permanent?
Yes. The titanium PVD coating is permanent at an atomic level. It does not rub off, fade, or get affected by daily use.
How do I care for the jewelry?
Store in a zip bag. Copper: no water or perfumes. See: jewelry care.
