QUARTZ is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hexagonal crystal system and a hardness of 7. It can vary in color from very pale tan to deep chocolate brown. Smoky Quartz is found in many countries. Smoky Quartz is one of the premier grounding stones. It can help even the spaciest individuals get their “land legs” so they can fully function as physical beings. It also aids the grounding of spiritual information. Smoky Quartz enhances practicality and organization. It can help one avoid extravagance, except when it comes to purchasing Smoky Quartz! It offers protection from negative energies in one’s environment. It can absorb and transmute almost unlimited amounts of negativity. Smoky Quartz has a way of drawing the ethereal into manifestation. When one is wearing or carrying a Smoky Quartz, one is actually more likely to see such phenomena as ghosts, UFOs, fairies and spirit guides. Rather than raising one’s vibration, it draws the entities or phenomena into one’s auric field and down to one’s level of perception. For similar reasons, Smoky Quartz is useful for helping one bring one’s most potent dreams and inspired ideas into physical reality. Smoky Quartz works in harmony with grounding stones such as Master Shamanite, Black Tourmaline, Jet and Obsidian. With Moldavite it draws the energy of transformation into the physical realm.
