Auralite-23 vs. Super 7

The following discusses auralite-23 more in depth. Super 7 and auralite-23 are both forms of amethyst with various inclusions.

Also known as red cap amethyst, it is a trade name for an interesting type of amethyst crystal that is said to contain a variety of minerals, including titanite, cacoxenite, lepidocrocite, and others, totaling 23 different minerals. Its chemical composition is primarily silicon dioxide (amethyst quartz) 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 beauty.

However, this information is debated by geological scientists, as there is not much evidence of adequate testing that proves the claims regarding age and chemical composition. Further, you will not often find many of those occurring together naturally, let alone all in one place. It is likely that auralite-23 is some combination of iron-included amethyst, citrine, smoky quartz, and clear quartz in varied amounts. Streaks of yellow and reddish coloration are tell-tale signs of iron inclusion.

Citrine and amethyst and smoky quartz are all forms of quartz that form under very similar conditions. The difference between citrine and amethyst is the degree of heat applied during natural formation. If it’s too cool, you get amethyst. If it gets to a certain degree, citrine is formed. Smoky quartz is formed when irradiation happens naturally.
