Smoky quartz bead necklace, 2 mm, faceted

This finely faceted smoky quartz bead necklace in 2 mm is a piece of jewelry with quiet elegance and grounded charm. The small 2 mm beads shimmer in a warm brown to smoky grey – a color that exudes grounding, strength, and quiet depth. The faceted surface allows light to refract in many ways, giving the warm brown tone a lively, almost smoky depth. In its delicacy, this necklace is particularly versatile – it suits any outfit, can be wonderfully combined with other necklaces, and is always a quiet, powerful companion. Smoky quartz has been known since ancient times as a protective stone against dangers and is considered an ideal companion in times of crisis – a stone that grounds, strengthens, and protects.

Mineralogical Properties

Smoky quartz is a brown to smoky grey variety of crystalline quartz (SiO₂) and thus belongs to the large family of quartz. Its characteristic brown to smoky grey color is created by natural irradiation of aluminum trace elements in the crystal lattice – a process that takes place over millions of years in the Earth's crust. Smoky quartz with particularly dark, almost black coloring is also known as morion. The Mohs hardness is 7 – making smoky quartz robust and suitable for everyday wear. It crystallizes in the trigonal system and shows a characteristic vitreous luster. Finds are widespread worldwide; particularly well-known occurrences are in Switzerland (Alps), Brazil, Madagascar, Scotland (Cairngorm), USA, and Spain.
