Smoky quartz split necklace from China
Smoky quartz
Smoky quartz is a brown to grey-black variety of quartz, coloured by natural radiation affecting aluminium-containing inclusions in the crystal lattice. The colour intensity ranges from slightly transparent to almost opaque black, retaining a glassy luster. The mineral is often offered as a polished stone or in raw crystal form.
Smoky quartz occurs in many mountainous regions, with important deposits in Switzerland, Brazil, Scotland and Madagascar. It forms in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins within magmatic rocks. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Morion is a well-known, very dark variant of smoky quartz that is almost black in colour.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
