Unlike many other stones and minerals, Smoky Quartz has an \"innate\" clarity. This quality makes it ideal for jewelry. Once carefully polished by a master jeweler, the stone captures playful flashes of light within.

How to wear Smoky Quartz?

Its warm, earthy hue makes this stone a perfect fit for the fall-winter color aesthetic. As the weather turns colder, we long to carry colors with us that keep us \"warm.\"

Like deciduous trees, we dress in burgundy red, ochre yellow, shades of brown and beige. Thus, this type of quartz will beautifully complement the color palette of your cold-season wardrobe.

Fun facts…

One fascinating thing about Smoky Quartz is that in medieval China, people used this stone as sunglasses! As mentioned earlier, this quartz variety is particularly clear most of the time. Taking its dark color into account, the ingenuity of the people of China is no longer surprising at all!

In Scotland, this stone is native to the land, which makes it highly appreciated by locals. They use the stone to decorate their traditional attire, also called the Kilt, which, put simply, is a \"skirt\" worn by men.
