This gorgeous cluster is Smokey Quartz from Brazil!
Smokey quartz comes with some incredible healing properties! It is by far one of my absolute favorite stones. Aside from it’s beautiful, deep grey-brown shimmer, it is also known for it’s many healing properties.
Smokey quartz is known for it’s abilities as a protection stone. It has an unbelievable ability to ground the wearer and dispel negative energy.
One of my all-time favorites for banishing negativity and poisonous energy.
It’s great for use during meditation, as it helps ground your spirit and helps you reach a higher state of consciousness. It also is known as the “endurance stone.” If you’re suffering from physical or emotional fatigue, this is the stone for you. It also brings prosperity by grounding your goals and wishes.

for the record, ‘not feeling anything’ is a valid and not unusual response to trauma or grief
so if you feel empty and devoid of feeling, it’s not because you’re a cold and uncaring person.
Sometimes, not feeling anything is the only way you can cope.
Be prepared for a delayed reaction, too. It’s very common to be totally calm during a crisis, and then days or weeks (or years) later suddenly get hit with a tidal wave of “HOLY SHIT THAT HAPPENED.”
Sometimes your mind waits until it feels safe to start processing things emotionally. It’s a powerful survival strategy, but it can really blindside you, because just as you start to feel like things are okay, you’re overwhelmed by the realization of how not-okay things were before.
This may not happen, and that’s okay too. But it’s something to watch out for when your initial reaction is numbness.
