Care, Use, and Storage

Smoky quartz is robust but should still be handled carefully. Lukewarm water with a soft cloth is sufficient for cleaning – aggressive cleaning agents and ultrasonic baths should be avoided, as these can damage the natural surface. If you want to energetically charge the stone, you can place it briefly in the morning sun or on an amethyst bed. However, direct, prolonged sunlight can slightly bleach the color – shady storage is recommended. As a room decoration, meditation companion, or simply as a silent companion on your desk, this Namibian smoky quartz best unfolds its full natural effect where it is perceived daily.
