Smoky quartz, in plain facts
Smoky quartz is quartz turned brown-grey deep underground. Raw pieces keep their natural crystal faces.
The same mineral as clear quartz, with a smoky tint.
Traces of aluminum, changed by natural radiation in the rock, darken the crystal.
Harder than glass, so it holds up well.
Scotland's national gem is a smoky quartz called cairngorm, after the Cairngorm mountains.
Lighter and darker zones and tiny inclusions are normal.
Long sunlight can lighten the color. Rinse and dry.
It started with a fake rose quartz.
We once paid for rose quartz online. What arrived was a piece of painted glass in a plastic bag, with nothing to say what it was or where it came from.
You can't hold a stone up to the light before you buy it online, so we built the shop we wished we'd found: real stones, real photos and plain facts.
- Every stone we sell is natural
- A real photo on every stone's own page
- Plain facts about every stone, and a meaning card by email
- 30 days to send it back if it isn't right
