smoky quartz

Smokey quartz is a brown, grey or black quartz that got its color from irradiation.

Far from dull, smoky quartz glistens in the sun. The dark colors makes it an interesting stone to use in sophisticated jewelry designs, or in designs that require a somber or gothic touch. In fact, smoky quartz was used in victorian mourning jewelry.

Smoky quartz is the 70th wedding anniversary gemstone.
