A 1.5-inch A+ grade smoky quartz point from Brazil with clean transparency, polished facets, and natural brown-gray quartz coloration.
In stock
This 1.5-inch A+ grade smoky quartz point is cut and polished to bring out the gem-quality clarity and warm, smoky coloration of high-grade Brazilian quartz. Subtle internal veils, faint zoning, and natural brown-gray tones create depth within the crystal, while the polished termination provides a crisp apex suitable for display or energy-focused arrangements.
The small size makes it a versatile piece for grids, shelves, pocket collections, and minimalist décor.
Smoky quartz forms when natural quartz is exposed to geologic radiation over millions of years. This transforms some of the crystal’s aluminum-bearing centers, producing shades from pale fawn to deep charcoal gray.
Brazil’s Minas Gerais region is one of the world’s premier sources of high-clarity smoky quartz due to:
Stable pegmatite environments
Abundant natural radiation sources
Silica-rich fluids conducive to large, well-formed crystals
The A+ grade reflects excellent transparency and consistent coloration uncommon in smaller natural points.

Smoky quartz has been valued for centuries. It appears in:
Celtic ceremonial objects
Victorian mourning jewelry
Japanese mountain traditions, where dark quartz symbolized earth energy
Modern lapidary art, especially high-grade Brazilian material
Its natural gradient from light to dark has made it a favorite for carved points, spheres, and polished wands.
In crystal symbolism, smoky quartz is often associated with:
Grounded presence, inspired by its deep, earthy coloring
Focused intention, tied to its clear internal structure
Calm stability, reflecting its quiet, steady hues
Releasing old patterns, symbolically connected to its gentle darkening effect
These meanings derive from long-standing metaphysical traditions and color interpretation.
At 1.5 inches, this A+ grade point is compact but refined. It shows excellent clarity for its size, with rich smoky tones and a well-shaped termination. The polished facets highlight internal reflections and natural mineral inclusions, offering both simplicity and visual depth.
Avoid prolonged high heat, which may alter smoky coloration. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Store separately from harder minerals to maintain the polish.
