Description from the seller
Premium - natural smoked quartz - very large size
A true collector's item.
This gem is the origin of many uses and achievements. In the 12th century, the Chinese created sunglasses with lenses in smoked quartz. This technique remains current.
Later, in the 19th century, mediums used smoked quartz crystal balls to read the future. Their dark color had the advantage of protecting divine predictions from curious eyes.
Highly regarded in Scotland, it was used to adorn kilts or craft jewelry such as rings or brooches. The Highlanders, inhabitants of the northern part of the country, customarily carried a traditional Scottish knife in their sock, which was used to cut food. It featured a dark handle carved from smoked quartz.
