Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is a translucent gray or black variety of quartz. The smoky color results from free silicone formed from silicone dioxide by natural irradiation.

Smoky quartz is believed to provide protection from various types of negativity as its strong energy moves from the base chakra to the earth, thus connecting the wearer with nature. It has the ability to amplify the energy, not only of oneself, but of any other gemstone with which it is combined. It can both increase spiritual growth and help clear thinking.
