Smokey Quartz Sphere D

The color of smoky quartz is produced when natural radiation, emitted from the surrounding rock, activates color centers around aluminum inclusions within the crystalline quartz. It ranges in color from pale brown to almost opaque black. Smokey Quartz is found in many places around the world and has been used for religious, aesthetic, and even practical reasons for centuries. It is a recurring feature in Celtic lore, especially in connection with the Druids, and is the national gem of Scotland. In 12th Century China, panes of smokey quartz were worn across the eyes, producing an effect much like the sunglasses we wear today!

Smoky Quartz is a powerful protector, capturing the amplification qualities of clear quartz while also providing a grounding force, dispelling negative energy, and detoxing the energy field, as many dark stones do.
For these reasons, smoky quartz is a much-needed stone for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and strong negative emotions.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
