The Strange Appearance Of a Silver-Gold Aura Around Energy Artist Julia Watkins

Aug 28th 2025

What This Aura Transformation Means For Julia's Work Designing Gemstone Crystal Jewelry And Why It Appears Among Some Women In Crestone, CO USA

In 2025, after spending two and a half years living at the heart of the celebrated spiritual vortex in Crestone, Colorado, Julia Watkins—known as Energy Artist Julia—began to exhibit a remarkable change.

Her husband was the first to notice that Julia seemed to glow on moonlit nights. The effect was subtle at first, but quickly became more noticeable.

Soon, Julia’s studio workers started commenting on a luminous silver-gold hue that surrounded her, especially whenever she worked with gemstones and created her energy jewelry.

This unusual aura became strikingly pronounced during videos, particularly when Julia was filmed holding gemstone jewelry. At first, colleagues thought the effect might be due to body lotions or simply the iPhone's camera technology.

But during periods when Julia did not apply lotions and external enhancements were carefully avoided, the silvery-golden glow not only persisted but increased.

Careful research shows that while iPhone cameras use photographic styles and deep fusion processing to boost vibrance and contrast, they cannot create light effects or glows that aren’t present in reality. They simply make colors and highlights more vivid, exaggerating what is already observable by the eye.[Guide to iPhone Camera Color Enhancement]

Modern science or medicine seemed to have no medical explanation for her new appearance.

Studio staff and those close to Julia described her changing glow as spiritual energy—seemingly amplified by her environment, and even adapting itself to any gemstone she touched in Crestone’s unique metaphysical landscape.

"I'm not at all surprised by Julia's transformation after her move to Crestone. She is an effervescent being."

Why Julia’s Glow Is More Than a Simple iPhone Effect

It’s tempting to think the glow is simply a digital illusion. However, camera reviews and photographic guides confirm that iPhone photo enhancement features only intensify visible colors and highlights—they cannot create new light or color that isn’t present in real life.[Guide to iPhone Camera Color Enhancement]

Julia’s video documentation and testimonials confirm she wasn’t using lotions or cosmetic enhancements when filming. Many community members and fans describe seeing her ethereal radiance even in moonlight and different lighting situations, independent of camera equipment or external products.

The evidence from medical consultation, studio observation, and spiritual testimony points to the conclusion that Julia’s glow is a genuine energetic phenomenon—one visibly enhanced by the mystical atmosphere of Crestone, and by her ongoing work with gemstones.
