Smoky Quartz is almost the default crystal in any crystal healing layout. It is grounding and protective, and can transform negative energy into positive energy. As one friend put it to me, Smoky Quartz is good for humans, because we are currently quite murky beings ourselves!
It can also be found in Elestial form and on rare occasions, Cathedral formation. Smoky Quartz clusters can be found, but are really quite rare. Sometimes Smoky combines with Amethyst, which gives the benefits of both, as well as creating their own unique combined energy. Phantom Quartz crystals in Smoky are very powerful in breaking old patterns and blockages.
As an elixir Smoky Quartz can have great effect against radiation-induced illnesses. It purges toxicity from the major bodily organs. It is very good for reining in wayward emotions and helps one put things into perspective. Smoky Quartz helps keep us grounded while under great stress. It also is a great boost to the body’s immune system.
Smoky quartz works very well in conjunction with Rose Quartz, Amethyst and Citrine. In some cases you can get Bi-colored crystals such as Smoky and White Quartz, which has a balancing effect in all yin and yang issues. There is also a tri-color Elestial family that has Smoky/White and Citrine Quartz. These are very powerful manifestation crystals and are unfortunately getting hard to find now.
It is a very joyful crystal. It is helpful to hold if you have other crystals that un-ground you such as Moldavite.
A lot of Smoky Quartz on the market is actually heated Clear Quartz. Majestic Quartz only supplies natural Smoky Quartz. If it is not translucent at all, be very suspicious. I have only seen 2 Smoky Quartz crystals that are not translucent, but are actually the real thing.

Channel Quartz (also called Channeling Quartz) is a specific and identifiable growth formation of Quartz defined by the presence of a seven-sided primary face directly opposite a triangular three-sided face. This precise face pairing is not symbolic or subjective—it is a verifiable crystallographic feature.
Unlike carved or modified stones, Channel Quartz forms naturally during crystal growth when conditions allow highly ordered face development. Most Channel Quartz occurs as Clear Quartz, though Smoky Quartz and lightly included examples are also known.
The term “Channel Quartz” refers strictly to this face configuration. Crystals lacking the exact 7–3 face relationship are sometimes mislabeled in the trade as “channeling” based on appearance or metaphysical intention, but they do not meet the structural definition.
Channel Quartz is found in many classic Quartz-producing regions, including Brazil, Arkansas (USA), Himalayan regions, Madagascar, Colombia, and parts of Africa. Well-formed examples are less common than standard Quartz points due to the stability required to preserve precise face geometry throughout growth.
Channel Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, like all Quartz varieties. What distinguishes Channel Quartz is not its chemistry, but its exceptionally ordered face development.
Quartz crystals typically form with six-sided prisms and six-sided terminations. In Channel Quartz, growth conditions favor the development of a seven-sided face on the main termination, paired directly opposite a triangular three-sided face. This requires prolonged stability, minimal disturbance, and consistent mineral saturation during formation.
Because of this precision, Channel Quartz is considered a specialized growth form rather than a separate mineral variety. It may occur as a single dominant crystal or within clusters, though clear identification of the channel face requires unobstructed terminations.

⚠️ Handling:
Channel Quartz should be handled with care to preserve delicate termination faces. Lift from the base and avoid pressure on the crystal point.
🧼 Cleaning:
Generally water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, especially for crystals with inclusions, fractures, or iron staining. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Clear Channel Quartz is light-stable. Smoky or included examples should be protected from prolonged intense sunlight.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately or cushioned to prevent contact with harder minerals. Stable display helps preserve precise face geometry.
