Description

Smoky Quartz is a grey, translucent variety of quartz. It ranges in color from pale, smoky grey to deep brown and black, sometimes yellowish-brown. It forms as crystals, drusy or in massive form, and its color is caused by impurities of aluminum and natural irradiation of the stone. Though Smoky quartz can be nearly opaque, it is almost always transparent to translucent. Smoky Quartz is the national gem of Scotland, a country with the longest historical association with the stone. Smoky Quartz is readily found in locations all over the world.
