Characteristics
Smoky Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO₂) whose brownish-grey, smoky colour results from natural radiation processes. The shade can range from barely perceptible smokiness to almost black morion. Raw pieces may show characteristic hexagonal crystal points, but fractured, irregular forms also occur. Each piece is a unique, natural formation.

Suitable for lapidary work, jewellery making and crystal collections. Many people also appreciate them as a visual meditation backdrop for contemplation.
