Smoky Quartz Cluster - Alligator Quartz, One of a Kind, 6 In

Alligator quartz earns its name from a surface textured enough to remind people of reptile skin.

This smoky quartz cluster has that layered, ridged look across its crystals, with brown tones throughout. Photos of the underside, a ruler shot and a room setting let you judge its shape before buying. It is compact enough for a desk or bookshelf yet weighty in the hand, a good fit for a collector who likes texture more than polish. Smoky quartz also suits darker, earthy rooms where purple or pink stones would clash.

About Alligator Quartz

Alligator quartz, sold in Brazil as jacare (Portuguese for alligator), is a trade name for smoky quartz with a layered, terraced surface, commonly marketed as smoky elestial quartz. The texture comes from skeletal growth, where crystal edges grow faster than the faces. Smoky quartz gets its brown color when natural radiation activates color centers around trace aluminum.

Stone Meaning: Smoky quartz is traditionally associated with grounding and calm.
