Pierre I SMOKY QUARTZ

In lithotherapy, it is seen as the stone of responsibility and refocusing. Thus, it would help to calm strong emotions that prevent thinking from being effective, and would improve lucidity and concentration. It helps us to think better and get rid of irrational fears, anxieties, and inner contradictions, of which we are prisoners. It also improves self-confidence, but also the ability to open up to others. It would have a positive effect on us, allowing us to make the right decisions. It would chase away negative thoughts and fight sadness. It would allow its wearer to refocus their energies on accessible goals, in order to avoid failure and disillusionment. For people with mood disorders, it would offer stabilization. It would help us to connect more often to our body and listen to the messages it sends us (such as hunger, thirst, instinct, the need for rest), in order to maintain health and balance. It would teach us to integrate at the same time the energies of Light and Matter within our being. It is the interface, the conciliator and the link between the light frequencies and the material frequencies. It is the natural link between all the opposing energies. Very effective, this stone plunges you into the center of the matter/anti-matter encounter and helps you to feel precisely the connections between the subtle and material planes. It develops in you the capacity to understand the meaning of oppositions and diversity in order to find harmony. This stone allows you to access letting go by bringing you a deep tolerance. The idea is to no longer separate things, so that they no longer oppose each other.

It reconciles you with the duality of human nature and allows you to become aware of the difficulties of clarification, positioning and arbitration that disrupt your own tracks. It allows you to understand that it is futile to seek the absolute, so that you can accept your shadowy areas. It brings you the serenity necessary to be able to confront situations or relationships that are a little "troubled". The smoky quartz stone thus offers you the possibility of highlighting, then defusing the conflicts and power struggles inherent in many life situations. This stone religiously guards your palette of inner colors. It helps you not to abuse too much light or too much dark in order to make your life picture harmonious. It teaches you that without shadow, light cannot be highlighted and radiate in all its splendor, and conversely, that without light, shadow does not have the possibility of showing its depth and mystery. You just have to find a balance. It connects you with your inner self so that you can do a rational introspection, without value judgments. This will help you take stock of your inner being, without concessions or pretense. It provides an opportunity for a face-to-face with yourself to be able to locate your dark areas. It allows you to identify the negative that surrounds you, and helps you eliminate it, by anchoring positive awareness in you. It teaches you that white and black are relative notions. Depending on the point of view, these colors can be perceived both positively and negatively. The mixture of the two adds a human dimension. This stone is full of resources and teaches you to merge your strengths with those of your environment. You will thus feel able to face the most fluid situations, as well as the most difficult ones.

The virtues and properties of smoky quartz stone on the physical level

From a physical point of view, the smoky quartz stone (which can be worn as a pendant) would help fight against addictions. Indeed, it protects the pulmonary airways and lungs by allowing the elimination of accumulated tar. This elimination can cause coughing attacks when the vibrating cilia of the trachea and pulmonary airways are put back in place to resume their filtration role. It would also have the capacity to strengthen the connective tissue and muscles (especially the heart), as well as the kidneys, pancreas and genitals. It would also have a natural positive effect on fertility. The smoky quartz stone corresponds to the Root chakra or Mulhadara, the first chakra, in particular because of its link with fertility and self-confidence. Morion, the darkest of the smoky quartz, is associated with Aries while the lighter varieties are attached to the signs of Scorpio, Libra and Capricorn. The corresponding planet is Pluto or Saturn depending on the case. Many jewelry stores (especially in Paris) offer you this type of stone, in the form of jewelry, such as rings or pendants. Don't hesitate to visit the Mineralogy and Geology Gallery at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris: with a collection of around 770,000 specimens, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world.
