Smoky quartz is a quartz that ranges from soft tan to deep brown and charcoal gray. It looks like clear quartz wrapped in a gentle haze, which is how it got its name.

Caring for your smoky quartz
Smoky quartz is a hard stone, but its color can soften with long hours of strong sun. Refresh it with moonlight, sound or a selenite plate. See how to cleanse and charge your crystals.
Pairing ideas
Smoky quartz sits well with black tourmaline for a grounded corner, or with clear quartz for clarity with calm.
Crystals are companions for intention and reflection. They are not a replacement for professional care.
