Mr Smoky is such a beautiful everyday living crystal. It’s characteristics are there for grounding you, protecting you and to help you envision positivity. Smoky Quartz is usually brown in colour and is connected to the base chakra, just like the earth. Just for some cute bit of information, it aligns with the planet Pluto. My favourite little planet. Smoky is great for concentration, stress, your nervous system, back, fluid regulation and headaches and depression. Of course, I need to stress again that crystals do not cure you, they are there to aid you.
Smoky Quartz is one of the most efficient grounding and anchoring stones and at the same time raises vibrations during meditation. It has a strong link between the earth and the base chakra. This stone is a superb antidote to stress. It assists in tolerating difficult times with equanimity, fortifying resolve. This stone has a grounding spiritual energy that gently neutralises negative vibrations and absorbs electromagnetic smog (assists in elimination and detoxification on all levels). Smoky Quartz teaches you how you how to leave behind anything that no longer serves you. It grounds the earth below your feet.
I feel like Smokey Quartz has a really dark connotation to it, maybe it’s because of the colour? Or maybe it’s because it’s talking about grounding and the earth so much. The reason it has that smoky colour is because it symbolised the potent dark power of Earth Gods and Goddesses around 300 B.C. This stone was often associated with Hecate, goddess of the Occult and the Dark Moon, and Crom Dubn, the God of Harvest (also known as the “dark bent one”). Mysterious huh? It is also said that the marking of the end harvest season and the beginning of winter, the “darker half” of the year was celebrated with a Gaelic Festival called ‘Samhain’ and Smoky Quartz played a part in that festival as it had great protective qualities to it, so much so that it was believed that at this time spirits and fairies could more easily enter our world.
Where to put Smoky? Anywhere really but, base chakra is a place to put for best use. Under the pillow, by a telephone or computer. Wear as a pendant for long periods. To dispel stress, place a stone in each hand and sit quietly for a few moments. Place over a painful point to dissolve pain. Place point away from body to draw off negative energies, point toward to energize. I have a tumbled smoky quartz in my car in sight, and on my desk at work.
You may be asking, why is Smoky Quartz *that* powerful, how is it so cleansing and grounding? Well, this type of quartz is a seeker transformer crystal. Seekers contain an energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind and finding the way to new horizons and new capabilities.
