Wow! I wish I hadn't seen this... I'm in awe of this ring. It's sort of Art Deco and Modern at the same time. The stone is a lovely specimen itself. Smokey Quartz - is the brown variety of Quartz and is known as the "stone of cooperation". It stimulates the unification of energies directed toward the same goal and is a 1st (base/root) chakra gemstone. It can be used to gently dissolve negative energies and emotional blockages, to initiate a powerful force field which will absorb many forms of negativity, both from within oneself and from outer sources. It is an excellent grounding stone, enhancing attentiveness to the moment and producing the grounding aspects necessary during the meditative state in order to stimulate higher awareness. It activates survival instincts and acts to improve ones intuition in matters of responsibilities and in those activities which would be considered to be "challenging". It promotes personal pride and joy in living. Use to regulate creativity in business and encourages astuteness in purchasing. (via esty.com)
