Also, they state, "Leave the past in the past and move on toward a brighter future with the help of the Smoky Quartz crystal properties. Because of its darker color, the Smoky Quartz crystal healing properties are well-suited to removing negative energy or unwanted energy. The stone cleanses and purifies your energy field and allows you to hand over the energies you want to release to your crystal..."
