A #Macro #Photo of the surface of a piece of Smoky #Quartz.
Found in the Great Smoky Mounters of North Carolina and Tennessee, among many other places, is colored by having energetic particles displace atoms from the #crystal #lattice. The radiation source was likely natural, such as being close to deposits of granite, which contains uranium.

Smoky #Quartz is a type of quartz (SiO2) that has been discolored due to either titanium or organic inclusions in the #crystal structure, or by the inclusion of radioactive elements that damaged the crystal structure during the process of radioactive decay.
This specimen is from the Great Smoky Mountains.
