About Smoky Quartz as a Gemstone
Quartz is silicon dioxide and one of the most abundant minerals in the crust. As a gem it spans an enormous range, from colourless rock crystal to amethyst, citrine and smoky quartz. At Mohs 7 it resists everyday scratching well. You can read more via gemmological reference.
Quartz crystallises from silica-rich fluids in veins, pegmatites and cavities, and is stable enough to survive weathering that destroys most other minerals. That durability is why quartz dominates ordinary sand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Smoky Quartz?
This stone measures 23 x 16 x 14 mm and weighs 36.75 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
What metal colour suits smoky quartz best?
Yellow and rose gold draw out the warm undertones in the material, while white metals provide a crisp, modern contrast. Your jeweller can help match the setting to your preferred aesthetic.
Is this hardness suitable for daily wear?
The material stands up well to regular daily use on the hand or neck. Standard precautions apply to prevent scratching against harder substances.
How should I clean this stone?
Wash the mounted or loose gem gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue from the pavilion facets.
Why choose an emerald cut over a brilliant cut?
The step cut prioritises clarity and linear flashes of light over intense sparkle. It gives the gem an architectural quality that stands apart from standard round stones.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
