North Iceland has notable geothermal regions in and around Lake Mývatn, the most dramatic being Hverir Geothermal Area. The landscape is marked with mudpots, steam vents and fumaroles (an opening in the planet’s crust) that pump steam in heavy, warm clouds of gas from the earth. Here, the colors range from light gray to muddy beige with a backdrop of smokey brown-gray steam.

This surreal landscape is embodied in the Smokey Quartz clusters of the SIGIL Iceland Collection. The beautiful clusters each have their own characteristics, from double terminations to small twins partially emerged from the primary piece.

Smokey quartz is associated with grounding and protection properties, including the neutralization of negative energies and detoxification.

The SIGIL Hverir Smokey Quartz # 2 has a long, clear body with one beautifully textured single face, and a smooth surface on the remaining faces. The piece extends out into a wide, single terminating point. The color is dark-smokey brown throughout.

Measurements:

2 3/4" long from top of ring to bottom of stone x 5/8”

Cord hangs 16 1/2" from top of ring to knot. May be easily shortened by retying knot and snipping off excess cord.

Hverir Smokey Quartz # 2 is the most dramatic of the pieces in the Hverir series in the Iceland Collection.

All pieces have a reassuring weight to them. Not recommended for children. Avoidance of dropping is recommended.
