Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is formed when the aluminium impurities in clear quartz are subjected to radioactive decay. If there is enough aluminium in the crystal, the colour of the quartz can turn completely black. This rock is called morian.

When treated with enough heat, the crystal will become clear again.
