Transparent quartz coloured in layers of grey, tea brown and deep smoke.
Colour range: Tea brown to near-black smoke. Reference hardness: 7 Mohs. Hardness does not mean indestructible; internal structure, cutting and the direction of impact all affect wear.
Symbolic language
How we read the symbolism of Smoky Quartz
Its low, earthy colour is often associated with grounding. Wear it as a cue to return from an imagined future to the decision available in the present.
Treat meaning as a question, never a guarantee.
