Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz gives this tea strainer its smoky brown-grey tone, a natural quartz coloured by trace minerals deep in the earth. The stainless steel basket holds loose leaf tea over a cup or pot, then lifts out cleanly. Each stone is raw and uncut, so the depth of the smoky colour and the shape of the point differ on every piece.

Why you'll love it

• Fine stainless steel mesh strains loose leaves and herbal blends
• Rests across the rim of most mugs and teapots
• The darker stone stands out against light ceramics and pale wood
• Washable and reusable in place of paper tea bags

An Auro & Co moment

Smoky quartz takes its colour from natural radiation over a very long time. Holding something shaped over millennia while a five minute brew steeps is a quiet sort of contrast.
