Smoky Quartz bracelet meaning

What is a smoky quartz bracelet worn for?

A smoky quartz bracelet is traditionally worn for grounding, letting go of a heavy day and feeling steady again. It belongs to the root chakra and is linked with Scorpio and Capricorn. Smoky quartz looks softer than black tourmaline or obsidian, so it suits people who want a grounding piece that does not read as all-black. Its colour can fade after long hours in strong sun.

What is smoky quartz?

Smoky quartz is quartz darkened to brown or grey by natural radiation acting on traces of aluminium in the crystal. It stays translucent, which sets it apart from black stones. It measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale and is commonly found in Brazil, Madagascar and Switzerland. Every Crystal Basket bead is natural and undyed, so colour and pattern vary from bead to bead.

Which wrist do you wear smoky quartz on?

Wear smoky quartz on the right wrist. Grounding stones traditionally sit on the projecting side, where they are said to let heaviness go.

How do you cleanse a smoky quartz bracelet?

Cleanse smoky quartz when it arrives and about once a month: overnight in moonlight, on a selenite plate for a few hours, or in palo santo, sage or oud smoke. A brief rinse in plain water is fine; dry it straight away so the cord lasts. Keep it out of long direct sun, which fades the colour of smoky quartz. Full cleanse and care guide.
