I have just added the last of the current stock of smokey quartz to the website and as I was handling these wonderful crystal clusters I felt a strength surge through me. It reminds me of the protective energies associated with this crystal, but there's so much more that smokey quartz can help with that's sometimes overlooked. So here's some information.... But if you want your smokey quartz crystal cluster for protection then just cleanse it and pop it on a window sill, or by your bed or in your office or workplace, or wherever you spend a lot of your time.
