About this Smoky Quartz bracelet

A profoundly grounding stone traditionally used to anchor energy and dissolve negativity.

History

Smoky quartz has a rich history in Scotland, where it is known as the national gem, Cairngorm, named after the mountain range where it is found. The Celts traditionally mined the stone to adorn ceremonial weaponry and highland dress, viewing it as a deeply protective talisman connected to the dark power of the Earth gods. The name simply references the crystal's translucent, smoke-like colouration.
