Smokey Quartz Gemstone

Also known  as  Cairngorm  Quartz  after  the Cairngorm  Mountains  of  Scotland  where  it was once mined, Smokey Quartz is the national  gemstone of Scotland

It  is  believed  that  Smokey  Quartz  helps  to  build a strong relationship and instill peace and harmony.  It  is  thought  to  transform  negative energy and is reported to be effective at dealing with anger. Most Smokey Quartz coming out of the ground is not very consistent in colour and is therefore often heat-treated.

In addition to Scotland, the  required gem has been discovered in Brazil, Germany, Australia, India, Madagascar and the USA. See also Quartz.
