What is Auralite-23?

Also known as red cap amethyst, it is a trade name for a rare type of amethyst crystal that contains a variety of minerals, including titanite, cacoxenite, lepidocrocite, and others, totaling 23 different minerals. Its chemical composition is primarily silicon dioxide with traces of other elements. Auralite-23 is believed to have formed over 1.2 billion years ago in the Canadian Shield region through a complex geological process involving metamorphism and the intrusion of various minerals into the host rock. This unique gemstone is exclusively mined in the Thunder Bay region of Ontario, Canada, making it highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for its rarity and beauty.
