Effect

Smoky quartz is a strongly protective, grounding and detoxifying stone (body, soul and spirit). It is an excellent stone to wear for complaints related to stress and in stressful situations. The stone helps to relax, let go and accept, resist stressful influences and provides mental (resilience) strength and clarity. Smoky quartz therefore also has a beneficial effect on obsessive and grinding thoughts, brooding, anxiety (particularly fear of failure), nightmares, depression and suicidality. The stone stimulates a down-to-earth, pragmatic and positive attitude and promotes concentration. Smoky quartz protects against (electromagnetic) radiation (from, for example, computers, mobile phones and TV sets) and other negative influences from the environment (water veins, environmental pollution, etc.) and helps with meditation. It is a strongly grounding stone for use during or after spiritual activities. Physically, smoky quartz has an analgesic, antispasmodic and detoxifying effect and promotes recovery. It has a positive effect on back pain, nerves, neuralgia, abdomen, hips, pelvis, legs, feet, headaches, migraines, sciatica, restless legs syndrome, the genitals and fertility, especially in men. It can also help with quitting smoking and other addictions.

Care

Smoky quartz can be cleaned and charged in all ways. The stone can discolour under the influence of bright sunlight.
