Certificate of origin accompanied

NOTE

This smoky quartz was mined in the Shishikawa area, located east of Takachiho Gorge in Miyazaki Prefecture.
“Shishikawa” is read as shi-shi-ka-wa.

This area is known for smoky quartz.
Interestingly, very different types of quartz can be found just a few kilometers apart—from silky white quartz to deep brown smoky quartz.

This specimen is an intergrown crystal exhibiting Dauphiné twinning, with well-developed x-faces beneath the terminal facets on nearly all prism faces except one.
It also features a large, well-defined Isis face.

A pointed tip at the base produces a clear sound when touched, giving it a “singing” quality.

The transparency is exceptional for smoky quartz, allowing you to see through to the opposite side.
Fine ledges across the surface give it a delicate, silky texture.

Smoky quartz of this size and clarity is quite rare, especially from Japan.
The termination is slightly tabular, with traces of limonite adding natural character.

Its warm, deer-like tones beautifully reflect the name “Shishikawa.”

 

Miyazaki Quartz is very popular because the amount of mining is small and future production is unknown, and because it is a source of the legend of the descent of the heavenly grandson.
I believe that the reason this region is special that has begun to produce suggestive crystals with distinctive shapes and mysterious appearances.

It is hand-mined deep in the forests of Miyazaki Prefecture.
A certificate of origin from the miner will be attached.


ABOUT CRYSTAL

Miyazaki Crystal

Miyazaki Prefecture is a mountainous region located between Mount Aso and Mount Shinmoedake, home to Kirishima. Kyushu, home to active volcanoes such as the constantly erupting Sakurajima and the super-powerful Mount Aso, must have been an area of ​​great tectonic activity. Minerals like quartz are produced in fault zones where tectonic activity occurred in ancient times. Southern Kyushu may be an area blessed with minerals.

Miyazaki crystal is a high-quality crystal mined in the foothills of the Kumamoto prefecture border, such as Takachiho Town and Itaya, Nishimera Village. Mount Sobo, which is also on the border with Oita prefecture, is also a crystal production area, and Marimo crystals are mined on the Oita side. The reason why famous crystal production areas are scattered all around Miyazaki prefecture is because of its rugged mountainous terrain. In fact, Miyazaki prefecture is also a famous crystal production area, fitting for the myth of the descent of the heavenly grandson.

Clear, shining quartz is found in Itaya, Nishimera Village (quartz), while strangely shaped quartz and candle quartz are mined in Takachiho and Mt. Sobo. Minerals such as smoky quartz and axinite are also produced here.

    

It is located deep in the Kyushu Mountains, and looking at the map, it is at the western end of the Nankai Trough, making it an area susceptible to major crustal movements, and I believe that this is also the reason for the minerals that were born. In southern Kyushu, the eruption of Mount Shinmoedake was a precursor to the Tohoku earthquake, and there are places throughout the Japanese archipelago that show signs of the beginning or foreshadowing of major crustal movements, which I believe may also provide hints for the legend of the descent of the heavenly grandson and the origins of Japanese mythology.

Among the Miyazaki crystals, the clear quartz Itaya crystal has a very strong brilliance that draws you in, and its many metaphysical elements and appearance often remind me of Russian Lemurian. It may not have the same compulsive power as Russian Lemurian, but it has a softer feel to it, and I think it has a very strong impact in terms of subconscious tectonic shifts.

Considering that it is a domestically produced quartz crystal, I think there is a high degree of synchronization with the stone, and the fact that stones with strong messages have appeared is also a message for us, and its coercive power may be no less than that of Rosillem.

スモーキー・クォーツ

スモーキー・クォーツは、大地の石の色。グラウンディングに最適な石です。

古くから「悪霊払いの石」として知られ、邪気を寄せ付けず持ち主を護ります。

アメリカのヒーラーのJ・ドウ女史によると、スモーキークォーツは肉体に働きかける力がクリアクォーツよりも強く、エネルギーの影や不透明な部分に浸透しやすいとのことです。パワフルで明晰さを象徴しています。
 

上質な味わい

水晶に親しみ始めた頃、スモーキー・クォーツは憧れでした。当初は透明な水晶よりも、スモーキー・クォーツに「格」を感じたものです。チョコレート色した輝きは、チョコレートのようにどこかブランド感があります。ゴージャスでコニャックのような熟成した色味や艶は、決して透明な水晶では出せない味わいがあります。

金運といえばシトリンですけども、スモーキー・クォーツには蓄積された富や財のイメージがあります。自然放射線の影響で、地殻変動が活発な産地では水晶と共に多く産出されるようです。ロシアン・レムリアンのような古い水晶の産地でも、スモーキー・クォーツはあり、どんなに地質が古くても、水晶はなくてもスモーキークォーツは産出されています。

クリアクォーツが女性もしくは女性的、スモーキー・クォーツは男性もしくは男性的な側面を表すことがあります。

Materials + Care
  • We offer natural, unpolished quartz crystals in our shop.
    In rare cases, a polished surface may appear on a terminal or prism face of a crystal. In such cases, this will always be clearly stated in the product description. If no such note is included, the crystal is unpolished.

  • If there is any noticeable damage, it will be shown in the photographs or mentioned in the product description. As these are natural minerals, please enjoy such features as part of the crystal’s unique character.

  • Quartz crystals are sensitive to dryness, so we recommend periodic cleansing with water as part of their care.
