What is Smoky Quartz?

Smoky Quartz is a color-variety of crystalline quartz. It’s color ranges from a light yellowish brown to a greyish brown.

When cut as a gem, stones with an orange brown to a reddish brown color are preferred. When used as a geode, all varieties are cherished.

The color of Smoky Quartz is produced when natural radiation, emitted from the surrounding rock, activates color centers around aluminum impurities within the crystalline quartz. Amethyst forms in a similar way, from the activation of color centers around iron impurities.

Smoky Quartz is cut into beads and cabochons. Gems cut like that are often used in rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings, and brooches for people who like the more subdued colors.

Pieces that have a dark brown color are often used in men's rings and cufflinks. During the Victorian Period, dark brown stones from the Mourne Mountains of Ireland were often used in mourning jewelry.

In the 12th century China, flat pieces of Smoky Quartz were used to make eyeglasses. Some of these were used to shield the eyes from bright light. A few were worn by judges during court proceedings, to hide their facial expressions.
