Smoky Quartz Gemstones

  • Hardness

    7.0 on the Mohs scale.

  • Occurrence

    Brazil, Madagascar, Switzerland, U.S. (Colorado), Australia and Spain. Smoky quartz from the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland is called cairngorm.

  • Appearance

    Smoky quartz is the dark brown variety of quartz. In the past, these were often sold as "smoky topaz". There is no such gemstone known as smoky topaz and it's illegal to refer to quartz as "topaz". Watch out for some unscrupulous dealers who sell "smoky topaz", it is probably quartz. Citrine was often passed off as topaz as well. Smoky quartz crystals can form together with citrine crystals to form bi-colored quartz. Smoky quartz is sometimes found rutilated, which would be called Smoky Sagenite (Rutilated Quartz).

  • Enhancements

    Smoky quartz is occasionally produced by irradiation of colorless quartz.

  • Gemstone Family

    Smoky Quartz is a member of the Quartz gemstone family.
