Description
Smoky Quartz is a variety of quartz (silicon dioxide) imbued with free
silicon. Historically, Smoky Quartz has been used by tribal cultures in
ceremonies to provide protection from negative forces. Smoky Quartz is
still considered to be a stone of protection that provides a safe-guarding
barrier around the user. The dark colour of this stone associates it with
the base chakra making it helpful in freeing blocked physical energy and
alleviating fears and their foundation. Smoky Quartz helps one come to
terms with one’s life circumstances and promotes self-respect and
acceptance. It is believed to heighten learning while simultaneously
calming the thinking mind. It is known to enhance perception and is used
to improve insight in challenging and channelling activities. Most natural
Smoky Quartz comes from Ontario, Brazil, Colorado, and the Swiss Alps.
