1.1’ Himalayan Smoky Quartz Faceted Gem - India
 
Smoky Quartz:
 
Smoky Quartz is a very powerful grounding stone that works primarily within our root (base) chakra and the energy of mother earth. This chakra can become imbalanced if our sense of security is threatened (ex, health, financial situation, living environment, unhealthy relationships), and is often triggered for the first time in the younger years of our lives and fluctuates throughout our lifetime. Its a very crucial energy center to balance because it’s the base at which the rest of our chakras and their innate gifts (enlightenment, inner wisdom and awareness, self-expression, love and emotional healing, personal power, creativity and emotional balance) sit upon. If we aren’t properly grounded in our root chakras the rest of our energy centers can’t reach their full potential. 
 
Working with Smoky quartz can be a great tool for working towards achieving a healthier balance within this powerful energy center. Smoky Quartz is protective in nature because when you allow yourself to connect with the reservoir of aptitude that exists inside of you, your other chakras will have an amazing foundation to work upon, and you open the opportunity to feel more secure even in times of chaos. When we feel a stronger connection to our bodies, the earth, and nature we are more apt to feeling safe on our planet and more stable when things in our life go awry. Smoky Quartz will work to help you feel more comfortable in your skin and remind you that the world is your home, minimizing the opportunity for stress and disharmony. 
 
This powerful stone is revered by the ancients as a stone of “survival” because they used it to help carry out heavy tasks and burdens that were brought upon them. Working with smoky quartz will help you gain insight into the courage and acceptance needed to push through obstacles that seem impossible. It’s a great companion to have around you while you are going through a tough time or in winter month when you’re craving the earth and the color of life. 
 
Smoky Quartz is a great neutralizer that scans for impurities and stagnant energy residing in our auric fields that need clearing. It opens us up to seeing where in our body, mind, and spirit we may be allowing toxic energy, fears, and resentments to rent space and promotes a deeper understanding of the cause and effect of negative emotions and thinking. This awareness in turn brings about the opportunity for stability and strength by guiding its user to properly let them go. When we let go of these types of energies we feel more tend to feel more secure, safe, grounded, and stable and it is easier to invite, manifest, and attract new energies in that can be beneficial to our experience here on earth. 
 
Ultimately, working with a resourceful crystal like smoky quartz can help you feel more centered, grounded, energetic, courageous, decisive, abundant, trusting, feel stronger sense of safety, and you may also find yourself becoming more spiritually expressive.
