A sturdy and water-safe stone, Smoky Quartz is one of the best crystals to place almost anywhere in your home. Where some crystals may begin to crumble if they are placed too close to a boiling pot or shower, Smoky Quartz will be just fine. Though as with most crystals, it's best to keep Smoky Quartz out of the sun in order to keep its color vibrant!

Keeping a Smoky Quartz palm stone or sphere handy in your sacred space is a powerful way to ensure you stay grounded.

However a Smoky Quartz point may be used in the same manner, particularly if you can hold the point facing towards you.

Smoky Quartz is considered to be a semi-precious stone just like most of its Quartz siblings.

An incredibly ancient stone, like most of the Quartz family, Smoky Quartz is perhaps best known in Celtic cultures. The national gemstone of Scotland is a variety of Smoky Quartz known as Cairngorm from the name of the mountains where it is mined. Known best as a stone of power, Smoky Quartz has in legend been associated with the goddess Hecate and the dark magical powers of the earth itself. This stone was often used as ornamentation for those in positions of power in Scotland, including warriors and even the royalty who adored it enough to grant it the title of their national gem!

In more of a practical sense, in the 12th century Smoky Quartz was utilized in an incredibly insightful manner by the Chinese. They would cut it into the perfect shape and size for eyeglasses, and created sunglasses which closely resemble the sunglasses we use today.

Collectors far and wide often begin their collections with a few key crystals. Clear Quartz, Citrine, Green Aventurine, Amethyst, or even Carnelian.

Smoky Quartz is an important component for grounding energies in the home, and in nature. Attuned deeply to the element of earth, this Quartz is unlike any other in many ways. A calm, cool and collected companion which is easily attuned to, Smoky Quartz is an old friend of humanity itself. Though it is true that Clear Quartz has a splendid ability to be programmed to any intention, including the grounding and protection which Smoky Quartz is well known for, there is certainly something unique about Smoky Quartz’ energy.  Smoky is in the exact same price range as Clear Quartz, if not sometimes even less expensive depending on the quality of each. Smoky Quartz has a beautiful and unique appearance, and a gorgeous variety of colors for all aesthetics.  

Most crystals boast more than one healing attribute to their name, and Smoky Quartz is no exception. Smoky Quartz is an incredibly multifaceted crystal healer. Its grounding energy and protective energy do not counteract each other, but rather they combine together beautifully in order to create Smoky Quartz’ unique energy.

Smoky Quartz has a very unique appearance in comparison to its much better known counterpart Clear Quartz. Whether you find your Smoky Quartz as a small polished pocket stone, faceted into a gemstone, or in its untouched raw and cluster formations, it can be distinguished from its many Quartz siblings by its gray, brown, or sometimes black appearance. Most often Smoky Quartz is translucent, yet tinted a light or golden brown which can give the appearance of smoke trapped inside its lustrous crystals. This stone gains its unique coloration due to a mixture of aluminum inclusions inside of the Quartz, and the natural radiation that it is exposed to inside of the Earth! Though it is most typical that Smoky Quartz appears to be just that, a smoky variety of Quartz, there are often exhibits of ‘smoky’ appearance in its Quartz siblings. The best example of this is in natural Citrine, the yellow variety of Quartz. Citrine and Smoky Quartz often look incredibly similar, and in fact it is a rather common occurrence that Citrine exhibits a smokiness to it. Smoky Citrine, as it is often called, appears almost like a trapped ray of golden light filtering delicately through a haze of smoke. This is typically due to a layer of Smoky Quartz growing overtop a previously formed Citrine crystal. This growth habit may also occur in Amethyst, with the Smoky layer most often covering vibrant purple Amethyst like a thin veil. Smoky Quartz is often the visible element in many Phantom Quartz specimens, highlighting a single layer (or multiple layers) of growth inside an otherwise entirely clear Quartz crystal! 

Though these are the most common examples of ‘smokiness’ other forms of silicates may also exhibit this effect as well.
