Crystal/Stone of the Month: JULY - Smoky Quartz Crystal
https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/smoky-quartz
This crystal is a specific variety of crystalline mineral quartz which hardens and crystallizes with small particles of different elements that can get trapped inside. With the smoky quartz those elements are trace amounts of lithium and aluminum which gives the crystal’s smoky appearance. This crystal is normally found in places like Brazil, parts of Africa, Scotland and the state of Colorado. This crystal is the chosen stone for the Druids which was used for their scared ceremonies and rituals believing that it will guide souls to the afterlife and keep evil spirits away.
Like other dark-colored crystals the smoky quartz is incredibly grounding especially for spiritual work or meditating. It also encourages a deeper connection to the Earth, supports feelings of peace/calm and helps work through personal fears. It protects like a shield against unwanted negative energy, clearing even the old energy to create new space for a more positive energy to flutter in. It reignites one’s passion when feeling stuck or stagnant, so using it for meditation will help get back that lost passion in one’s life. When used in meditation it helps balance the Root Chakra, for your connecting to the Earth and it can also be used for your home’s energy balance and protection. It has also been used for Ritual Baths and for the deep inner work called Shadow Work that goes into working through past traumas and/or inner pain of darkness. The smoky quarts is also used for divination work with the inner wisdom and manifesting practices. (Go to the the website listed for their complete newsletter)

This smoky quartz helps you leave your “old baggage behind” when one needs to let go of old feelings, thoughts, beliefs or experiences that no longer serves you, wether emotional or energetic. It helps you to remain clam, focused and balanced in any situation.
There are lighter and darker shades that some mention the differences it may have like this website listed above. The darker smoky quartz will help when there is more grounding work required and works well when the Root Chakra is out of balance. The lighter smoky quartz is great for meditation and working the Solar Plexus Chakra, to help you go subtly inwards for a calming understanding of one’s fears as well when inner guidance is required.
**for more details go to the listed websites as well if you are looking to purchase them online for the one I have used regularly is the Energy Muse which also has great YouTube videos so check out their channel. There are also great “New Age” stores that carry crystals/stones which my favorites are: “The Way of the Earth” in Tampa Mall Flea Market and “We Rock Rocks” on Nebraska (has the largest selections). They are great quality and prices, see which one attracts you (actually calls you) and they are great at answering any questions that you may have.
Many blessings and hope you will receive the healing energies that God has provided us with Mother Earth as well as the Universe (asteroids from Meteorites).
