Care, Use, and Storage

Smoky Quartz is sturdy, but should still be handled with care. Lukewarm water with a soft cloth is sufficient for cleaning – aggressive cleaning agents and ultrasonic baths should be avoided, as they can damage the natural surface. Those who wish to energetically charge the stone often place it briefly in the morning sun or on an amethyst bed. However, direct, prolonged sunlight can slightly fade the color – shaded storage is recommended. As room decor, a meditation companion, or a quiet eye-catcher on the desk, this Namibian smoky quartz is best appreciated where it can be seen daily.
