One time and one time only we saw these large Australian Amethyst Points and this is the smallest and is a Smoky Amethyst Point although the purple is difficult to see in most lights … so maybe you want to call it a Smoky Quartz point.

Here is a video of this one. There are natural little indents where the crystal didn’t quite finish growing together and red Aussie clay is trapped. I have cleaned out most of the red clay from the front face. This one sits nice on its base.

These type of unusual crystal are often found when a farmer digs a hole to get to the water table and on the way through discovers crystals. Not sure if this was the case or if in fact there is a miner who knew how to seek these out.

Use it to cleanse and revitalise those crystals as well as sending energy through its points into the room. Or hold or have nearby for own cleansing, de-stressing and re-connecting help. Read more about the shape.

It will either go to someone who is knows they hold shamanic energies to tap these depths …. or a geologist.

However this Australian smoky amethyst point or smoky quartz point has grown for soooooo long, it holds tremendous depth.

Shamarah's Insights

I know when I have a thinker in the shop when I intuit smoky quartz. Most are the "intellectual" even if working spiritual and/or are someone going through a lot of change in their mental thinking/perspectives/beliefs, and all that lovely thinking is create a lot of head energy and no room for more to come in. So smoky quartz brings that "ah ha" energy down and anchors it into the person roots (below the Earth Star Chakra). So now that they are re-balanced energeticallly, they are ready to take on more mental insights, information, etc. They are studying, or spending a lot of time in their heads over various matters and smoky quartz is to pull all that lovely energy down from the mind / the mental body and anchor it into the Earth. That way the person can the "walk the talk" e.g. of new spiritual insights and not just keep thinking about it. Or a whole lot of new energy can come in as the mental body has been cleared to receive more and you are no longer feeling unbalanced or tired.

Geological Properties

Geological Information of Smoky Quartz

Geological Identification

• It is a brown or grey coloured variety of Quartz.
• The smoky colour results from free silicon and aluminium naturally irradiated.

Special Notes

• Most people know the brown variety. But geologically there is also grey smoky quartz
• Unfortunately more and more quartz is being artificially gamma irradiated. You will only know by being suspicious as to the mine it came from or the matrix of minerals with it e.g. be careful of cheap smoky quartz from the USA or China - usually looks unusually dark and opaque. 2018 update
  • Even Brazil is now radiating their smoky quartz and doing a good job of it. Graham and I couldn't tell the difference but thankfully the suppliers were honest and we avoided getting caught.
  • Customer advised that he bought irradiated smoky quartz and that the colour faded within a year.
• Note: Morian Quartz is a very dark natural quartz.
