Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz is a grounding and protective stone with a beautiful smoky brown to gray color caused by natural irradiation of silicon dioxide. It ranges from nearly transparent with a slight brown tint to an almost opaque dark brown.

The Scots called smoky quartz *cairngorm* after the Cairngorm Mountains and set it into brooches, kilt pins, and ceremonial daggers. Druids considered it sacred as a guiding stone of the dark power of Earth gods. In Chinese Feng Shui, it is used for protection and to dissipate negative energy from a space.

Smoky Quartz transforms negative energy into stability, clarity, and emotional balance. It absorbs fear, anxiety, and energetic blockages while promoting emotional resilience, calm, and spiritual growth. It strengthens your connection to the Earth, shields against negativity, and helps maintain stability during chaotic or stressful times.
