✨ Temple Tip — hold it to the light before you trust it
Very dark or fully black “smoky quartz” — sometimes sold as morion — is usually artificially irradiated. Natural material runs light grey to deep brown and is always translucent. One second held against a lamp tells you more about a smoky quartz than any label on the bin, and it is the single most useful habit a new collector can build.
