The
characteristic smokiness of smoky quartz is caused when quartz is exposed to very low levels of natural radiation from surrounding
rocks or radioactive elements over a very long period of time.
Metaphysical
properties:
The
energy of smoky quartz is protective and empowering. It reminds us of the need to cut through superfluous information to get
straight to the point, and remain focused and 'in the moment' all the time. It's a handy tool to use during meditations or
ceremonies, when you want to be aware of subtle energies, but also remain grounded. Plus, it can be useful to have around
in the work place, when you're dealing with difficult situations or people.
