Smoky quartz is a brownish grey, translucent variety of quartz that ranges in clarity from almost complete transparency to an almost-opaque brownish-gray or black crystals.[6] The color of smoky quartz is produced when natural radiation, emitted from the surrounding rock, activates color centers around aluminum impurities within the crystalline quartz. [7]
Varieties [ edit ]
Morion is a very dark brown to black opaque variety. Morion is the German, Danish, Spanish and Polish synonym for smoky quartz.[8] The name is from a misreading of mormorion in Pliny the Elder .[9]
Cairngorm is a variety of smoky quartz found in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland .[10] It usually has a smoky yellow-brown colour, though some specimens are greyish-brown. It is used in Scottish jewellery and as a decoration on kilt pins and the handles of sgianan-dubha (anglicised : sgian-dubhs or skean dhu ).[11] The largest known cairngorm crystal is a 23.6 kg (52 lb ) specimen kept at Braemar Castle .[citation needed ]
Smoky quartz is common and was not historically important, but in recent times it has become a popular gemstone , especially for jewelry .[12]
Sunglasses , in the form of flat panes of smoky quartz, were used in China in the 12th century.[13]
