LOCALE — Hallelujah Junction (aka Petersen Mountain), Washoe County, California / Nevada, U.S.A.

SPECIMEN — One of the most fascinating aspects of crystals is how they can be found growing in so many different locales, with each one producing a special version of a particular mineral. Smoky quartz ranges in intensity of color and vibration. The darker, denser, and more opaque a stone is, the more grounding energy it carries, meaning it is more easily integrated into earthly pursuits and outcomes. The clearer and more transparent a stone is, the more light and spirit it contains. An analogy I can give is to peppers in terms of spice. They may all be peppers, but their level of hotness and flavor vary immensely. This smoky quartz is medium intensity, meaning it is fairly grounding. Visible phantoms are seen, showcasing the crystal’s skeletal patterns of growth over millions of years. Hallelujah Junction, a spot that straddles the California and Nevada border, is famous for producing smoky quartz and smoky amethysts with intensely vivid phantoms.

“The Eliminator”

ENERGY: Grounding, Dissolving, Empowering, Stimulating, Balancing

FOCUS: Assists with the release and elimination of emotional debris, unhealthy behaviors, and negative energy / Infusing Earthly action with Source Energy

KEY USES: Spiritual force manifested in the physical body, ambivalence, depression, fatigue, feeling spaced out, feeling disappointed

Our challenge as physical beings is to find the balance between being present in the physical realm in which we exist while maintaining a connection to the ethereal realm from which we come. Establishing healthy relationships with both is essential because the spiritual world has all the resources we need access to if we want to evolve into our higher selves in our current physical incarnation. Stones used for grounding serve the purpose of helping build a stable foundation in the material world so we can be successful in all other pursuits. Smoky Quartz, especially in the form of a point, assists with the elimination of toxic energy we do not want or need in our lives. When we eliminate this excess energy we stop attracting more of the same corresponding vibrations into our energetic fields. This makes room for new energy to enter our orbits that has the frequencies of what our higher selves want to manifest.

Smoky Quartz is an essential stone. For those just beginning to work with energy, this is one of the first and most important stones. It is a reliable staple that you will utilize time and time again. This point dissolves the frequencies that are not serving you while aligning you with the vibrations of Source energy.
