Smoky Quartz Generator

Generators are powerful tools that pull energies from their surroundings and from the Earth and send it out to the Universe (The Source). They also pull high vibrating energies from the Source back to the Earth, and fill the space they occupy with this beautiful energy. A high vibrating space is one in which you feel peace, joy, secure and at ease. Low vibrating energies are made up of anger, grief and fear. Low vibrating energies cannot simultaneously exist with high vibrating energies, the higher energies will transmute the lower ones. Our homes and offices get filled with the emotions released by us. These emotions, if not released, can create a low vibrating, even toxic environment. 

Smoky Quartz is a variety of the mineral quartz (silicon dioxide) and is known for its characteristic smoky brown to grayish-brown color. The coloration is thought to result from natural irradiation of clear quartz, which causes the formation of aluminum-containing complexes within the crystal lattice. Smoky Quartz is widely distributed and can be found in various parts of the world. Important deposits are located in regions such as Brazil, Madagascar, the Swiss Alps, the United States, and the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland. The Cairngorm variety of Smoky Quartz is particularly famous and has been used historically for jewelry, including traditional Scottish pieces.

The most prominent feature of Smoky Quartz is its smoky brown to grayish-brown color. The intensity of the color can vary, ranging from a pale, almost transparent smoky hue to a deep, almost opaque brown. Smoky Quartz can be transparent to translucent, allowing varying degrees of light to pass through the crystal. Some specimens may appear almost opaque due to a higher concentration of color. The luster of Smoky Quartz is typically vitreous (glassy), giving the crystal a shiny and reflective quality when polished.

Like other quartz varieties, Smoky Quartz has a hexagonal crystal structure. It commonly forms prismatic hexagonal columns with well-defined crystal faces. Smoky Quartz crystals can be clear and free of visible inclusions, or they may contain internal veils, fractures, or growth lines that contribute to the stone's unique appearance. Smoky Quartz is often cut into various shapes for jewelry, including faceted gemstones, cabochons, and beads. Its versatility allows for a range of cuts to showcase the crystal's color and transparency.
