Smoky Quartz
Quartz fumé (also known as smoky quartz) is composed of silicon oxide. It is easily found in the Swiss Alps. Its brown color is due to natural gamma irradiation by potassium neighbors. When it is black, it is known as morion quartz.

The benefits of Smoky Quartz
When you're feeling down, when you're nervous, when your thoughts are spinning in a negative hubbub and you're feeling gloomy, Smoky Quartz will chase away that dark cloud that's hanging over you. It's an excellent stone for people who suffer from depression or who tend to be "negative" all the time.
If you frequently suffer from anxiety or unreasonable fears, if you tend to make up your mind or if you're the type of person who sets impossible goals, Smoky Quartz can give you a good dose of lucidity and confidence in yourself and your potential.
It is a stone that marvelously channels telluric energies, which can help you to anchor yourself deeply in the earth, to welcome the concrete aspect of existence, to gain stability, to assume your responsibilities and commitments more easily without spreading yourself too thin.
With it, you'll surely have a broader awareness of your physical body and of your belonging to the world of matter, in which you live your incarnation experience and your 5 senses may well be refined.
Here you can discover a beautiful stone featuring seven minerals, including Smoky Quartz: Cacoxenite or Super Seven.
Smoky Quartz is one of the favorite stones of all those who wish to free themselves from their addictions and in particular tobacco addiction. It helps eliminate tar accumulated in the bronchial tubes and detoxify the body and giving the courage, uprightness and determination not to give in to temptation.
Its detoxifying properties are highly appreciated in cases of drug treatment, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
How to use Smoky Quartz
Place a Smoky Quartz in your carafe to detoxify the water, especially if your water contains fluoride or chlorine.
To improve the circulation of energy in your body, take some time to relax or meditate, lying down with a Smoky Quartz under the soles of your feet and a Rock Crystal above your head.
Wear a Smoky Quartz with an Amethyst or Lapis lazuli every day to help you free yourself from an addiction or to keep yourself firmly anchored, especially when you engage in a practice that generates an altered state of consciousness.
Where to place Smoky Quartz?
Smoky Quartz is excellent for detoxifying the air, especially if the air in your home is polluted by cigarette smoke, hydrocarbons (if you live by the side of a road), pesticides (if you live near cultivated fields or vineyards) or radon.
A Smoky Quartz in your living space will bring energies that help to make things happen by creating a solid and healthy foundation and will help to dispel the gloom and negative thoughts that can stagnate in a place. If there are memories of illness, combine it with Malachite.
