Smokey Starseed Quartz

Smokey quartz, formed around radioactivity that overtime creates deviation in the structure of the forming crystal. Ironically, this variety of the super healer crystal (AKA quartz) is believed to ward off stressful thoughts and situations while simultaneously promoting tolerance and resolve when facing difficult situations. Believed to have been sowed with the divine powers of the ancient civilizations of Lemuria, Atlantis and Egypt’s “star people”, this aptly named quartz variety is literally made from stars. Born out of the immense pressures of cosmic strikes in Brazil, Star seeds are part of the Lumerian family of quartz which grows in clusters that are so fragile they naturally break away from the cluster, being littered on the floor of the crystal caves.
