July Stone of the Month
Smoky Quartz |
|
Found in many parts of the world, Smoky Quartz is a microcrystalline quartz believed to get its 'smoky' color because of exposure to radiation or gamma rays.
Metaphysically, it is said to provide clarity of thought, improve intuition and to stimulate higher connection in meditative states.
Our Smoky Quartz is from Brazil. Fun Fact: Smoky Quartz was used as sunglasses in 9th century China. |
