Smoky Quartz Coin Beads

Smoky Quartz Coin Beads

These are currently hard to find in the UK! Smoky quartz is one of those stones that rewards close attention. What appears at first glance to be a simple grey-brown reveals itself on inspection to be something far more interesting — a deep, translucent colour with an almost smoky, atmospheric quality, as though light is being filtered through dark glass. The natural inclusions and internal markings visible within each bead add to this effect, giving every coin a subtle inner life that a uniform opaque stone simply cannot match.

The large 14mm coin shape and high-polish finish allow this quality to show to its fullest advantage, the broad flat faces catching and transmitting light in a way that is quietly mesmerising. These beads are genuinely hard to find in the UK at this size and quality, making them a valuable addition to any maker’s collection — and at approximately 28 beads to a string, there is enough here for a striking statement necklace that will be admired for its understated sophistication.
