The value of smoky quartz will vary with the color. Medium smokey quartz is valued at approximately $38 per carat. Lighter and darker shades will be worth less.
It depends on the condition, size, color, form, and rarity of the specimen.
Mystic quartz is similar to mystic topaz. Each are white (colorless) stones to start with, then a treatment is applied to offer it in the mystic color. The treatment was originally developed for topaz stones. As demand grew, scientists figured out the way to apply their therapy to quartz at the same time. Why is that great? three causes: (1) Quartz and topaz share equivalent optical properties, so you cannot tell the difference visually. (2) Quartz is readily out there in bigger sizes. (3) Quartz has a lower precise gravity than topaz -- therefore, with two stones from the same exact size, the quartz will weigh much less by about 30%, yielding tremendous price savings.
It could be worth nothing or a great deal - depending on the form it takes. Compare a perfect 8 oz. Herkimer quartz crystal versus 8 oz. of silica sand. Great difference in worth. Quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, so when dealing in ounces only a good specimen will have value for the most part.
Well, Olmec quartz aventurine is grade 7 in durability and jade is grade 6.5 in durability. The Olmec used natural quartz aventurine weapons.This quartz aventurine is better than jade in durability.The Olmec made rare quartz aventurine mask because its better in durability and very good green color better that jade...The value in this day, in quartz aventurine Olmec mask is more valuable than jade because the mask quartz aventurine is very rare in the world. If anyone found one mask of quartz aventurine it would be very Lucky because Olmec natural green quartz aventurine is a good look for making money. In today's market the value of quartz aventurine Olmec mask is worth millions of dollars! Look for quartz aventurine mask because it's better than jade .

Quartz is more valuable when it is completely intact; however, a piece of naturally occurring quartz of unusual color is still worth more and of higher quality than a smooth piece of manufactured plastic or glass designed to imitate quartz.

see if it has any solid quartz in it . Quartz makes it worth nothing.
the print and the color
Most Quartz Crystals are worth as much as a grain of sand. Most sand is composed of minute crystals of Quartz. The make-up of Quartz is found in the Chemical formula of Silica or (silicon dioxide, SiO2). Pure quartz is colorless or white; colored varieties include rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others. Quartz goes by an array of different names. The most important distinction between types of quartz is that of macrocrystalline (individual crystals visible to the unaided eye) and the microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties (aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification). Chalcedony is a generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz. The cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque, while the transparent varieties tend to be macrocrystalline. Although many of the varietal names historically arose from the color of the mineral, current scientific naming schemes refer primarily to the microstructure of the mineral. Color is a secondary identifier for the cryptocrystalline minerals, although it is a primary identifier for the macrocrystalline varieties. This does not always hold true. So in truth, Quartz is one of the most plentiful substances on Earth!
A Quartz crystal is worth about 20$-35$ an ounce.
The pricing is highly variable, according to size, color, luster, locality, lack of damage, etc. A flawless transparent Swiss smoky quartz crystal as long as your arm will fetch thousands, whereas the standard Arkansas colorless point of finger size may go for ten bucks.

Indian head pennies were never made with quartz. It depends on the year and mintmark.
