What is Smoky Quartz?
Smoky quartz ranges from light tea-brown to almost black. The colour forms when natural radiation in the surrounding rock acts on traces of aluminium in the quartz. Very dark smoky quartz is sometimes called morion.
Fine natural crystals come from the Alps, Brazil and Colorado, often growing alongside feldspar and topaz.
