Smoky quartz necklace 18 mm faceted - 925 sterling silver gold-plated

Smoky quartz appears in this gemstone necklace as a faceted 18 mm bead chain in warm brown-gray tones with characteristic translucency. The generous beads provide an expressive, earthy accent; the faceting brings out the stone's natural play of light particularly well. Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) with a Mohs hardness of 7. The characteristic brown-gray coloring is caused by natural radiation within the Earth, which creates free electrons in the crystal lattice – it can range from light gray to deep smoky brown. Locations: Brazil, Switzerland (Alps), Scotland, Madagascar, USA.
