Smoky Quartz will help the glass half empty type and those who need grounding. Wear it on a chain around your neck or carry it in your pocket whenever you are certain to find difficult people in your path- family dinner tables,  conference rooms, subway cars. Use this when you fall prey to emotional vampires. When you need to be grounded. When you are embarking on a spiritual journey or any journey for that matter. Extra points if you’re thinking, “What’s the difference?” Arm your spiritual warrior.
