Smoky Quartz Heart

Quick Healing Overview: Smoky Quartz allows one to attune to the light instead of being consumed by life. Rather than merely surfacing negative energies and emotional blockages, this crystal gently dissolves these energies as it encounters them, allowing positive frequencies to take their place. It relieves fear, stress, anger, and unspoken resentment lifts depression and fatigue, and teaches one how to let go of what is no longer necessary for growth.

Birthstone & Zodiac Uses: Smoky Quartz is not a traditional birthstone. Smoky Quartz is not a Natural Birthstone. Smoky Quartz has an affinity with all of the signs. It is particularly helpful to reduce Capricorn’s tendency toward self-criticism and to give Librans the courage to look within and heal long-buried wounds. 

For Chakra Balancing: Smoky Quartz is associated with the Root Chakra. The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and radiates through the legs and feet. When the spiritual energies of the Root Chakra are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant.

Crystal Color Energy: Smoky Quartz in shades of brown also brings connection with the natural world. It is the color influence of home, hearth, and nature. It helps you relax, reconnect, and regain your composure. It is a grounding stone, promoting security and stability.

Associated Goddesses: Smoky Quartz honors Hecate, the Thracian Goddess of Wisdom, Crossroads, and Ghosts. It also honors Gaia, the Greek Earth Mother Goddess. All crystals of Quartz honor Gendenwitha, the Morning Star Goddess of the Iroquois; and Quartz clusters honor Ixcuiname, the Mayan Goddess of the Four Ages of Women.

Feng Shui Uses: Smoky Quartz utilizes Wood energy, the energy of growth, expansion, new beginnings, nourishment, and health. It enhances vitality, brings abundance, and keeps us growing physically. Use brown crystals to enhance any space used for eating, in the room of a small child, or in a place in your home where you are beginning a new project. Wood energy is traditionally associated with the East and Southeast areas of a home or room. It is associated with the Family and Health area and the Prosperity and Abundance area.

Uses in Divination: The Divinatory meaning of Smoky Quartz: There is light at the end of the tunnel, and you will slowly see improvements in a long-standing worry soon.

Talisman Energy: Smoky Quartz is a Seeker Transformer crystal. Seekers contain a crystal energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind in finding the way to new horizons and new capabilities. Transformer crystals enhance efforts to change our situations, prospects, health, outlook, or relationships. By transforming ourselves, we transform our lives.

What Other Crystal Authors Think: Almost all authors and healers agree on the fundamental grounding energy of the smoky quartz crystals. In The Book of Stones, for example, Robert Simmons tells us “it can absorb and transmute almost unlimited amounts of negativity by grounding it in the Earth.” He goes on to note that if you are in a bad mood, pick up one of these and in a few minutes you will wonder where the bad mood went. Highly recommended.
