Physical properties

Morion is the name given to black quartz with a characteristic glassy luster. The crystal has a hexagonal shape, and its chemical formula is no different from other varieties of quartz - SiO2. The difference in shades is achieved due to various impurities; black or dark brown color comes from a small amount of sodium or lithium. Long-term exposure to radioactive radiation can also turn quartz dark.

Raw morion

Black quartz is a durable and opaque mineral, with a density of 7 on the Mohs scale. Gems are mined all over the world, the richest deposits are in Asian countries. The largest Morion monoliths reach a weight of tens of tons.

For jewelers, rich black crystals are valuable; they are framed in white metal - platinum or silver. Stones with a less expressive shade are subjected to additional processing; under the influence of high temperatures, black quartz turns pale and turns into golden citrine. In this form, the value of morion increases significantly.

Areas of use

The crystal nugget has found its greatest application in the field of jewelry. Craftsmen work with minerals that have undergone annealing in special furnaces. The beginning of this technology was laid by the ancient Arabians in the 16th century. At the same time, the gem is significantly ennobled, acquiring new shapes and shades. Transforming into citrine, the stone gained extraordinary popularity among all connoisseurs of beauty.

Most customers of such jewelry prefer to buy inserts made from a natural product. The light emitted by its black edges is very harsh. A small piece of mineral in combination with a gold, silver, or platinum frame looks contrasting but harmonious. Morion is often additionally cut into a cabochon.

Morions obtained in quarries are large in size, distinguished by their bright shine and deep blackness. Processing the edges at high temperatures can significantly improve the quality and level the planes of the quartz stone mass throughout its entire thickness. The jewelry value of the mineral increases, but its geological value decreases somewhat.

Morions have found their use in serving people since ancient times. Even during excavations of the tombs of Thebes, the thinnest transparent plates of morion were found. They are equipped with thin bronze arms and are designed to be worn on the face as light protection filters. It follows from this that the wise pharaohs were the first on our planet to use black gems as fashionable sunglasses!

Since the Middle Ages, occultists of all directions have become interested in morion. Alchemists seriously considered it as a contender for the title of philosopher's stone. But no one managed to obtain a spell that awakens powerful creative forces in him.

In the second half of the 19th century, the stone again regained the heights of its popularity. Cutting masters engraved symbols of death on it. They were used to decorate inserts in brooches, pendants, and rings. Black beads and bracelets were put on and worn by all fashionistas and fashionistas in several rows on the neck, arms, and legs. Large morion stones, skillfully cut, were crowned with ebony cane knobs.

Since the last century, morion has been used in technology. Parts for radio electronics and electrical industries are produced from this mineral. But the most developed direction for using morion these days is a variety of crafts. However, many gullible citizens, having heard plenty of fables, are very afraid of its magical and witchcraft properties.

What are Tutankhamun's glasses made of?

The fact that the unusual type of mineral aroused interest among people even in ancient times is evidenced by the fact that sunglasses made from the thinnest morion plates were found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Even then, people knew how to skillfully polish dark stone so that everything around could be seen through it.

Morion amulets

Energy amulets made from morion have valuable magical powers. They are able to give their owner the following:

• transform negative energy into positive;
• bestow strength so that a person can move confidently towards his goal;
• improve a person’s organizational and public speaking abilities;
• fill with inspiration, which is very important for creative people.

You need to use the talisman correctly: it loses its power if a person is greedy, selfish and too emotional. In order to receive help from the stone, it is important to have a positive attitude.

Colors and varieties

The deep black color of morion is quite rare in nature. Much more often, brown or dark brown crystals are found. Almost transparent morions are usually called rauchtopazes, a type of smoky quartz. Under the influence of temperatures, black quartz gradually turns pale.

If you heat the mineral to 300 degrees Celsius, it will acquire the golden hue of citrine. Morions can be completely discolored by heating the stones to a temperature of 400 degrees or higher. If necessary, pale stones can be turned black by exposing them to radioactive radiation.

Quartz itself has a rich palette of shades. Among minerals of this type, stones of all colors of the rainbow are found, depending on the predominance of specific metals in the impurities.
