STONE DETAILS

Smoky Quartz The name smoky quartz was given to this mineral because of its appearance, that reminds the hues of smoke-infused crystal. It is a type of quartz composed of silicon dioxide and belongs to silicate minerals and the tectosilicate group. Its colour ranges from yellowish-brown to a deep brown, so dark that sometimes it appears to be black. It is characterized by the trigonal crystal system and the hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Smoky quartz can be found in different countries including Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Switzerland, Scotland, Ukraine, Russia and the USA.

Pyrite The word “pyrite” is taken from the Greek word «pyr» meaning fire, because pyrite produces sparks when struck by metal surface. Many years ago, they used to call it “fool’s gold”, because of its colour that resembles that of gold. Pyrite or Ironpyrite is one of the most common sulphide minerals with a chemical composition of FeS₂ (iron disulfide). It is characterized by the cubic crystal system and the hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale. Pyrite is derived mostly from Peru, the USA, Bolivia and Spain.
