Smoky quartz (or smokey quartz) is a natural gemstone from the quartz family that is named according to its colour. When it is orange it is called citrine, brown, smoky quartz, colourless, rock crystal and the most famous of them all, purple is called amethyst.
Vintage jewellery is anything that is over twenty years old, but less than one hundred. Once jewellery is over 100 years old, it is then classified as an antique.
Kalmar Antiques has the best range of vintage jewellery in Sydney. Located in the Queen Victoria Building, it is a short stroll from The Strand Arcade and Town Hall Station.
Like the name implies, smoky quartz is from the quartz family, that is a smoky-brown colour. This family also includes citrine (yellow) and the most famous, amethyst (purple). Smoky quartz should never be called smoky topaz, as topaz is another gemmological family of gemstones.
