I bought this nice stone on Ebay few years ago and now I decided to take a stack of it. The cluster is approximatelly 4cm large.
I used 5D and old manual Tamron 90mm f2.8, two external flashes

Beautiful!
I found it necessary to do some quick research on this sample to better understand its properties.

Titanium Aura Quartz is Quartz that has been enhanced with Titanium. The Quartz is heated to 871 degrees celcius and a Titanium vapour is passed across it in a vaccuum, the Titanium is bonded to the surface of the Quartz creating this amazing rainbow of colours.
