Smoky Quartz Sphere - 1.25-3.5 inch

The Smoky Quartz Sphere is a fully polished orb in translucent smoke-brown to near-black, the colour often deepening through the body and letting light pass through where it thins. The clarity of the Quartz gives the Sphere a glossy, reflective depth, and the smooth polish makes it comfortable to hold or to rest on a stand as a display piece.

Smoky Quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and protection, and is often described as a steadying, settling stone for easing tension. People keep a Sphere like this on a desk or in a living space, hold it when they want to feel grounded, or use it in meditation. The sphere form is favoured for radiating its associations evenly in all directions.

Each Sphere is cut from natural Smoky Quartz, so the depth of the smoky tone and the clarity vary from one piece to the next, and the stone you receive will be its own.

Geological Information
Smoky Quartz is a variety of quartz, a silicon dioxide crystallising in the trigonal system at a Mohs hardness of 7. Its smoky brown-to-black colour is produced when natural background radiation acts on aluminium impurities within the quartz structure over geological time. The Scottish variety, Cairngorm, is deeply embedded in Highland culture, used in sgian-dubh handles and brooches for centuries, while the near-black variety is known as Morion. This material is sourced from Brazil, with further deposits in Scotland, the United States, Switzerland and Madagascar.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
