“Smoky quartz – A powerhouse of energy”
Hi and welcome to Wicca Now. As you may already know, Wicca Now is a site where Amaria and I write about all things Witchcraft, Wicca and Magick. Lately, we’ve been covering a lot of crystal related topics, like this post on crystal witchcraft, all about black onyx or this article on crystals for confidence. Today I thought we’d focus on a specific crystal, namely smoky quartz.
Smoky Quartz – It’s Meaning and Properties
Smoky quartz has been used since ancient times for both jewellery and ornamental objects The Egyptians liked to make beads out of it and it was used as a seal stone throughout the Mediterranean region. During the 13th Century the Chinese even made an early form of sunglasses from thin slices of smoky quartz.
The color of the crystal can vary with the general colour range moving between smoky gray through to black and brown. The colour can also vary within the stone itself.
