Smoky quartz is a brownish grey, translucent variety of quartz that ranges in clarity from almost complete transparency to an almost-opaque brownish-gray or black crystal. Like other quartz gems, it is a silicon dioxide crystal. The smoky colour results from free silicon formed from the silicon dioxide by natural irradiation.
 
Smoky Quartz is the national gem of Scotland. In Celtic cultures, Smoky Quartz was sacred to the Druids. This stone represented the dark power of the Earth gods and goddesses. It was also associated with the ancient Greek goddess, Hecate, the goddess of magic.
 
Smoky Quartz regained popularity during the Victorian era in Britain. It was often worn in mourning jewelry in the 19th century. Mourning jewelry were decorative pieces worn by those who had suffered a loss.Darker stones, like Smoky Quartz, were a staple of these pieces that were often worn for a customary period of one to two years. Queen Victoria began this trend when she wore mourning jewelry after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.

Smokey Quartz is grounding and protective, and can transform negative energy into positive energy.
 
When you hold onto too much energy, there is very little room for new energy to enter. To make space for better things in your life, it’s important to leave behind that which no longer serves you – whether it’s thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, feelings, memories, or anything else that you have been carrying around with you. When you are ready to let go of your energetic baggage, the Smoky Quartz crystal meaning can help to cleanse and detoxify your mind, body and spirit. 
 
The Smoky Quartz crystal stone meaning works by guiding you to recognize the energies you need to release and absorbing them from your energy field so you do not have to hold onto them any longer. That’s why the stone itself has a darker, smoke-like tint – because it takes on all the lower vibrations leaving your energy field. Once you’ve handed over your unwanted energies to the crystal, you can reach a higher state of being and connect back to feelings of joy, positivity and light. With the energetic grime cleared away, you can let your light shine bright.
