Scepter Smoky Quartz Crystal Polished Point Tower Gemstone Rock
This natural Scepter Smoky Quartz crystal 6 sided polished tower is 3.4 inches tall by 2.2 inches at its widest and 2 inches at its thickest.
Crystals with syntaxial overgrowth of a second-generation tip that has a diameter greater than that of the original crystal are called Scepters. To be a scepter quartz, the second-generation quartz crystal must grow parallel to the underlying crystal.
As is common with this material it does have many natural internal flaws and inclusions. This one is a little rough with lots of surface flaws too, but it is really cool with its milky white quartz base and brown smoky scepter formation!
This natural Smoky Scepter Quartz rock crystal is from Brazil.
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. It is found on every continent, and just about every country.
When quartz has a brown or grayish brown shade it is called "Smoky Quartz". The color is from free silicon formed from the silicon dioxide by natural irradiation.
Quartz has long been the subject of spiritual beliefs and folklore. Crystal balls brought back by the Crusaders where believed to possess magical powers. In fact, the name crystal comes from the Greek word for "ice", as it was believed that rock crystal was eternally frozen.
Metaphysical Properties of Smoky Quartz: Smoky Quartz is said to help one feel more engaged in the world and to feel capable of changing one's reality. Smoky Quartz is also said to be a grounding stone, enhancing practicality and organization.
