Smoky Quartz is a color variety of crystalline quartz. The color is created by Earth's natural radiation with aluminum impurities in the rock. Metaphysically, Smoky Quartz has a strong grounding connection to Earth and carries protective energy against all forms of negativity. For this reason, many people carry it for travel protection and as an antidote for stress, imbalance, hostility, or dysfunction in the workplace or social situations in general. Use it to also create positive energy.
Tumbled stones are smaller pieces of crystals or rocks that have been processed in a rock tumbler with water, sand, and grit. Over weeks in a tumbler, the stone edges and surfaces become smooth and sometimes highly polished to bring out the beauty of the stone. The pleasing shape and size of tumbled stones make them desirable as more inexpensive and usable crystals.
