Smokey Quartz ranges in color from light brown to black. Despite its dark color, it is rarely opaque, although it is sometimes frosted. Smokey quartz may also be rutilated, with golden rutile threads inside. It may appear in clusters, as single points, or elestial shapes. They also appear in all the “personality” formations that clear quartz takes on.

Smokey quartz is a go-to stone for clearing undesirable energy and protecting from negativity. Smokies are also incredibly grounding, and aid you in letting go of the things that no longer serve your highest good. As they help you release negativity, they can also assist you in filling that space with an uplifted and positive energy.

Chakra: Smokey quartz resonates with the root chakra. If the root chakra is out of balance, smokey quartz can help reinstate your ability to trust and follow your instincts, and feel grounded and at ease.
