Smoky Quartz Cluster | Brazil

You will receive the piece pictured.

Smoky quartz is a translucent to transparent variety of quartz that ranges in colour from a pale, hazy grey-tea shade to a deep, dark brownish-black.

This distinctive colour is created naturally when clear quartz containing trace amounts of aluminum is exposed to natural background gamma radiation from surrounding rocks deep within the Earth over millions of years. As the aluminum atoms are irradiated, they trap electrons and form color centers that absorb light, transforming the once-clear crystal into its signature smoky hues.

This piece is freestanding.

All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
