Smoky quartz is a popular and powerful crystal for grounding and protection. It acts gently and removes negative energy around it to bring unwanted energy into the Earth to be transmuted. Smoky quartz is a member of the quartz family (Silicon Dioxide) that gained its smoky brownish grey appearance from natural irradiation in the earth.
Its smoky coloring can vary widely from a specimen to another, with some almost fully clear and others almost black. Some very dark specimens are artificially irradiated, so you'll want to keep an eye out for that when getting smoky quartz.
It's a great crystal for beginners to the crystal world and one that probably every crystal lover should have in their collection.
