Smoky Quartz is a form of quartz in colors including transparent light grey, brown, dark brown and black. Smoky quartz occurs in massive or crystal form. Dark smoky or black quartz can be created by the irradiation of ordinary rock crystal.
Used in the past in tribal ceremonies to provide protection from negative forces, smoky quartz is still considered to be a protecting stone that is thought to provide a barrier of protective energy around the user.
The stone is believed to heighten survival instincts and to improve insight in "challenging" activities.
