smoky quartz - stone of power
A powerful healer, smoky quartz channels the light of the seventh (crown) chakra into the first (root) chakra to provide grounding, balance and protection.
With its strong grounding power, smoky quartz helps one tend to the details of everyday life in a centered and sacred way. For this reason, it's a good stone to use during meditation as it helps one open up but stay grounded in the process.
Mildly sedating and relaxing, smoky quartz is sometimes called "the dream stone," as it is thought to enhance dreams and channeling abilities.

Calming, soothing and stabilizing, smoky quartz restores balance and harmony as it helps stimulate the desire for life and survival.
Strongly grounding, smoky quartz helps transform negative emotions to more positive energies, improving clarity of thought and creating a feeling of calm and comfort. It is these qualities that make it very useful for treating stress, depression, fear, panic, and poor attitude.
Helping to dispose of psychic waste, smoky quartz allows us more space in which to grow, fostering the courage to make changes and break bad habits that no longer serve -- especially old beliefs and emotions that prevent us from experiencing life fully, transforming escapist attitudes.
On the physical side, smoky quartz is also a powerful healer, used to help remove toxins from the body, and aid the proper functioning of the kidneys (relieving fluid retention), adrenals, and pancreas. It is also used to help balance sexual energies, as well as help increase fertility.
