Prominent thinkers of the time believed the mineral to have been created from ice due to its clarity and transparency. 

Historically, Smoky Quartz was used to make sunglasses in 12th Century China. For example, judges used lenses made from the crystal in courtrooms to hide the emotions in their eyes in order to appear impartial.
