BLACK QUARTZ
MORION QUARTZ

Similar to Smoky Quartz in composition, with the addition of Aluminum, which absorbs light. This makes black quartz less reflective and prismatic than smoky quartz, and changes the chemical structure from SiO₂ to (A10₄)⁴⁻. Also known as Morion Quartz, more commonly in European countries. True Black Quartz is rare, though there are many forgeries on the market today.
