The Beginner's Guide to Getting Stoned...I mean Stones! (Smoky Quartz)

 He can smell a fire, before it starts to burn...

Nosey disembodied voice: What are you singing?"

The Smokey Bear song.

Disembodied voice: Why?

Tumbled Smoky Quartz

Because this month's featured gemstone is Smokey Quartz! One of the hottest and most dangerous gemstones on the planet! I need to warn everyone before the fire gets out of hand.

Disembodied voice: Ummm, I don't think you have to worry about fire.

Well you know the saying--Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Smoky Quartz Point Pendant

Disembodied voice: The gemstone is Smoky Quartz, not Smokey, and it gets its distinct color from natural radiation interacting with aluminum impurities, not from fire.

Oh. Then what can I sing about?

Disembodied voice: You can sing about how this gemstone it has a Mohs hardness of Seven, making it highly durable and resistant to scratches, making it an excellent stone to use in jewelry.

That doesn't really lend itself to a jingle.

Disembodied voice: Smoky Quartz can be found in a number of places around the world, like Brazil, Africa, Australia, Madagascar, Switzerland, and the United States. Maybe you can create a song that includes those places in the lyrics.

I believe  the Animaniacs have a song that is similar. It might be too confusing.

Releasing the Past Bracelet

Disembodied voice: Hmm. Well, Smoky Quartz is considered a powerful stone. The gemstone believed to neutralize negative energy and anchor your spirit to the earth and is widely used to clear a person's anxiety and remove their emotional blockages. In addition, it is thought to provide a stabilizing force that can help turn your goals and manifestations into reality. Perhaps you can sing a song about using the stone for healing and releasing old wounds and beliefs that no longer serve your highest good.

And where am I going to find a song like that?

Disembodied voice: LET IT GO, LET IT GO...

Just no.

Disembodied voice: If that doesn't work for you, many people place Smoky Quartz on windowsills and near the front door to keep out bad energy and negative vibes. It's always good to keep those "Bad Boys" away.

Please stop.
