HISTORY

Smoky Quartz was known as the stone of power. To the ancient druids, it was sacred and signified the powerful dark force of the earthly gods and goddesses. It was also associated with the ancient Greek goddess Hecate, the goddess of magic. In other cultures, the soul led to the afterlife, served in shamanistic rituals and tribal ceremonies, and was used in magic and in connection with the spirits of the lower worlds. In ancient times, the was worn as a sign of sadness, overcoming it and new hope. In the Arab world, on the other hand, it symbolised loyalty and friendship.

Smoky Quartz is the national jewel of Scotland, the country with the longest historical association with stone. The Celts, who began to colonise the British Isles around 300 BC, mined the brownish-grey quartz in the Cairngorm Mountains in the Scottish Highlands and named the dark brown to black crystals they found Morion and the yellow-brown to grey-brown Cairngorm crystals after the mountains where they were found. These stones eventually became a prominent adornment of Highlander clothing in the form of jewellery, shoulder brooches and kilt pins, and as power stones on the hilts of weapons, notably the Scottish sgian dubh, the ‚sock knife‘, which is still part of the Highlander's clot­hing.

Smoky Quartz gained popularity during the Victorian era in Britain. In the 19th century it was often worn in mourning jewellery. Mourning jewellery was decorative pieces worn by those who suffered a loss. Dark stones were often worn for the usual period of one to two years. Queen Victoria started the trend when she wore mourning jewellery after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.
