Rough Quartz, Smoky - 1 LB, Size Small

Description:

Each piece is approximately 1/2" - 2" in size. High-quality quartz points.

Rock/Mineral Info:

Quartz is the second most common silicate mineral on Earth (behind feldspar), composing about 20% of the Earth's crust. It forms when mineral-rich solutions flow through underground fissures and deposit silicon into the rock. Billions of silicon and oxygen atoms bond together as tetrahedrons (three-sided pyramids), stacking and building quartz crystals. This process can take millions to billions of years.

Smoky quartz is formed when trace inclusions inside the quartz are naturally irradiated in the Earth, leading to many shades of grey or brown. Some smoky quartz pieces look light and misty, while others appear so dark they are nearly black. 

Metaphysical Properties:

Smoky quartz is associated with protection; it is thought to absorb negativity for the wearer or owner. It is connected primarily with the root chakra.
