Physical Information
Smoky Quartz is a naturally occurring variety of quartz distinguished by its grey to deep brown or nearly black colour.
Its smoky hue forms when natural radiation from surrounding rocks alters the crystal’s internal structure over long periods.
It can appear transparent, translucent, or almost opaque, depending on radiation exposure and mineral inclusions.
Smoky Quartz often grows in large, well-formed crystals within granite pegmatites and alpine clefts.
Major sources include Brazil, Switzerland, Madagascar, Scotland, and the USA.
Known for its strength, clarity, and grounding appearance, it is widely used in jewelry, carvings, and energetic healing practices.
