Etched Smoky Quartz on Feldspar Matrix – #333
Description:
A dense, architecturally sculpted smoky quartz cluster showing classic natural etching, stepped faces, and dissolution textures. The main quartz mass has an opaque to semi-translucent smoky-gray tone with heavily etched surfaces, giving it a rugged, glacier-carved feel rather than a smooth crystalline finish.
One side features a thick layer of white to peach feldspar matrix, likely albite or microcline, with a small patch of black tourmaline (schorl) or amphibole embedded near the contact zone. The combination of etched smoky quartz and feldspar matrix suggests a pegmatite or high-temperature hydrothermal origin.
Weight: 7.7 oz
Size: Approx. 3.5 in x 2.5 in x 2 in
Origin: Likely Pakistan or Afghanistan pegmatite fields
Mineral Family: Quartz + Feldspar + Schorl (possible)
Crystal Habit: Etched quartz cluster on matrix
Energetic Properties:
Smoky quartz is known for grounding, clearing negative charge, and stabilizing the emotional field.
The etched surfaces indicate a long history of geological transformation, often associated with:
Deep clearing work
Old pattern release
Grounded presence
Protection during transitions
Feldspar adds an energy of resilience and self-trust, helping the mind soften rigid patterns.
The black inclusion (likely tourmaline) strengthens grounding and energetic protection.
