Description
Madagascar Smokey Quartz is known for its rich, translucent brown to deep grey hues, often with a smokey or mist-like quality. Formed over millions of years in the island’s unique geological environment, these crystals are typically found in large, well-defined hexagonal prisms or clusters. Many pieces exhibit excellent clarity, with subtle gradients of color that range from pale champagne tones to nearly opaque charcoal shades. Madagascar’s Smokey Quartz often displays inclusions, such as rutile or hematite, which enhance its visual appeal and rarity. Some pieces also feature unique phantom formations or patterns that resemble wisps of smoke frozen within the crystal.
