Origin & Traditional Use

Smoky quartz is brown to grey quartz, coloured by natural radiation in the earth. It is cut as a gemstone and in crystal practice is used for grounding, protection and absorbing negativity.

Uses in the Work

Use it to ground and protect in demon work, earthing intense energy that remains after evocation. Place it in the north and at the threshold of the temple as a ward, and hold it in shadow work to face difficult emotions without being swept away. It suits work with chthonic and earth demons and with the spirits of the dead.

Lore

Smoky quartz is the national gem of Scotland, where it is called cairngorm and was set in the hilt of the sgian-dubh, the dagger worn in the sock. Its colour comes from natural radiation in the earth acting on traces of aluminium. In twelfth-century China, judges wore lenses of smoky quartz so no one could read their eyes in court.
