STONE DETAILS

Smoky Quartz The name smoky quartz was given to this mineral because of its appearance, that reminds the hues of smoke-infused crystal. It is a type of quartz composed of silicon dioxide and belongs to silicate minerals and the tectosilicate group. Its colour ranges from yellowish-brown to a deep brown, so dark that sometimes it appears to be black. It is characterized by the trigonal crystal system and the hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Smoky quartz can be found in different countries including Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Switzerland, Scotland, Ukraine, Russia and the USA.

Hematite The word Hematite comes from the Greek word “aima” which means Blood, due to the red coloration found in some varieties of Hematite. It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe₂O₃, which is characterized by the trigonal crystal system and the hardness of 5-6.5 on the Mohs scale. Hematite can be found in various countries, including Brazil, India, the USA, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Russia, Ukraine and New Zealand.
