Smoky Quartz Sterling Silver Toggle Necklace

Smoky quartz is a brownish-gray, translucent form of quartz that has crystals that are almost opaque or nearly transparent, depending on the clarity. The free silicon that is created from the silicon dioxide by natural irradiation gives the material its smokey color. Although ubiquitous and traditionally not significant, smoked quartz has recently gained popularity as a gemstone, particularly for jewelry. In the 12th century, flat panes of smokey quartz were employed as sunglasses in China.
