Smoky Quartz

An Introduction to Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz is the brownish grey variety of Quartz. It ranges in color from light brown to black. Despite its dark color, it is rarely opaque. When held up to the light it can appear almost clear, with just a hint of smokiness. Smoky Quartz inherits its smoky hue from being in close distance to natural radiation, more specifically radioactive minerals, while it formed within the earth.

Smoky quartz is considered to be the national gemstone of Scotland, appearing in a multitude of Celtic folklore and legendary stories. In ancient Celtic culture, the Druids, also known as wise priests, teachers, judges, and other high ranking officials, considered Smoky Quartz a highly prized possession.

The brown/grey of this quartz variety resonates with the Root Chakra, creating a powerful grounding and anchoring effect. At the same time, the energy of this quartz raises your vibration, enhancing your meditation practice. Smoky Quartz is also a powerful healer, used mostly for mental and emotional relief and rebalancing. Physically it provides support to the lower abdomen area, hips, and lower spine.

Wear Smoky Quartz in jewelry form as a daily reminder that you have everything within you that you need to make a deep and lasting impact on the world around you!
