Smoky quartz is a natural variety of quartz that gets its characteristic brown to gray-brown color from natural irradiation of trace aluminum impurities within the crystal structure. The natural stone is carefully shaped into freeform nugget beads – a distinctive, organic silhouette – then polished to a high-gloss finish that enhances its natural color and luster. The beads range from approximately 10-14mm in width and 12-20mm in length, offering a dynamic, organic look perfect for statement pieces.
