Peacock stone is the popular name for Bornite and for the most part

the colours are real and caused by oxidation of the metals copper and

iron in the Bornite.

The 'aura' crystals are artificially enhanced by man by

electronically glueing different precious metals to Clear Quartz.

For instance the addition of gold gives us Aqua Aura and the addition

of Platinum gives us Ruby Aura, and gold and titanium rainbow Aura.

There are many different variations and the coating is stable and

fixed to the outside of the poor quartz crystal.

Rainbow Bojis should be stable too, the colour coming from the metals

once again, but only in so much as the Boji is stable. They can

crumble to dust so I would be worried if they started to lose their

colour that the integrity of the boji was changing.

Keep working with them and they should recover xx

Peacock Ore (or Peacock Stone) is a name most often used to describe

two different stone spirits - Chalcopyrite and Bornite, both Copper

Iron Sulfides. Sometimes Chalcocite (Copper Sulfide) is also called

Peacock Ore as well.

The rainbow colors seen on these spirits can be natural, but many

times (most times) they are not. The natural colors are essentially a

tarnish, resulting from oxidation. However, most often the stones are

chemically treated to produce the rainbow of colors.

The majority of " Peacock Ore " one sees these days - for $1 or $2 each

in rock shops and new age stores - has been chemically treated. Thus

the colors are artificially produced. This is, unfortunately, true of

many Bornites, Chalcopyrites, Marcasites, etc. that display a rainbow

of colors.

There are various ways to tell if the colors are natural or

chemically created, but they're all destructive and, for that reason,

I wouldn't advise exploring them. The chemically treated stone

spirits have suffered enough. To me there's no sense is subjecting

them to further trauma.

As for Rainbow Bojis... I've heard mixed reports about whether these

are natural or treated. Most people whose opinions I trust (and who

have no financial interest in the Bojis) believe they've been

treated. I suspect that at least some of them, in fact, owe their

colors to chemical enhancement. Whether or not this is true across

the board, I'm unsure. Many, myself included, feel like there are

some real ethical issues around how Bojis have been marketed.

And sadly, all of the " aura " stones are the result of very traumatic

intervention by man. They are all articially treated. And, just as

sadly, Quartz aren't the only spirits subjected to this harsh and

unkind process. Danburites, Chalcedony Roses, Apophyllites and even

Mochis have all been treated. Unfortunately I'm sure there are other

spirits that have been treated this way, as the desire to capitalize

on the " hype " around these stones remains high.

I have had rainbow boji's for several years. According to information

about Karen Gillespie who owns the property they are found on, the

rainbow effect just happens on some boji's due to the minerals in the

soil. However, it is sort of a coating and if you aren't careful with

them it wears off. Don't wash them and don't get them around oily

substances. If you don't have a certificate of authenticity they could

be artifically done. All the boji's regardless of color come with a

certificate of authenticity and they only come from one place, Karen's

property.

Hi there group,

Actually Karen trademarked the name Boji stones. Before that they were known,

and still are to those who do not buy direct form Karen, as Kansas Pop Rocks.

Karen has some remarkable Bojis and wonderful info that goes along with it from

the healing work she does. But you can find pop rocks in the same gneral area

of her mound where she finds her " bojis " . They are a combination of pyrite,

palladium, fossil and petrafied bone. Not all Bojis or Kansas are rainbow in

effect. The rainbow effect has to do with the oxidation process, although some

less than honest dealers have been known to grease them up with gasoline,

lightly, to produce the rainbow effect...you have sen gasoline on the street and

the rainbow effect, right?

When a Boji or pop rock is examined internally it looks like a network of

veins....anagolous to the deep roots of trees to the earth. They have a

circular desent form as that is the form iron takes as it spirals its way deep

into out earth by the forces of gravity.

Enjoy,

Dawn Silver
