Smoky Quartz is a brown-to-black variety of quartz prized for grounding scattered energy, shielding against negativity, and dissolving everyday stress so hard days feel steadier underfoot.
Also known as
Smokey Quartz, Cairngorm, Morion, Brown Quartz, Grey Quartz
Care
Non-toxic and safe to handle; hardness 7 makes it durable for everyday wear. Generally water-safe for brief cleansing, but prolonged direct sunlight can fade its color. Choose naturally formed stones over heavily irradiated, fully opaque material.
