Smokey Quartz is a naturally irradiated variety of quartz, formed deep within granitic rocks where trace elements darken the crystal over millions of years. Ranging from warm translucent brown to deep charcoal, it often displays a velvety clarity that makes each piece captivating. In folklore, Smokey Quartz was carried as a protective talisman, believed to ward off negativity. Metaphysically, it is thought to ground energy, promote resilience, and clear mental fog, making it a reassuring companion for balance, focus, and everyday stability.
