is a stone of the lower world of soul. This stone was once popular among crystal gazers. It can be used when praying to heal ancestors and may be carried by people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy due to the high radium content in the stone. Usually, however, it is best to avoid the heavily irradiated crystals, not because they are dangerous, but because the internal integrity of the stone is affected as a result of this form of microwave heat-processing.
Natural smoky quartz crystals absorb and neutralize harmful influences and shield the wearer from harm. This stone may also heighten our connection with the Earth as well as enhance our understanding of Nature and the environment.
