Often referred to by its misnomer "Smokey Topaz", smokey quartz is a popular, rich brown gem often available in larger sizes. To improve their color after mining, some smokey quartz stones may be heated or safely irradiated. Smokey quartz can be cleaned with a soft brush and jewelry cleaner or warm, soapy water, and ultrasonic cleaners may be used. To provide an extra degree of protection for your smokey quartz, avoid exposure to abrupt temperature changes.

This is not a chip or damage but a natural indentation marked by small lines. They are not glass but a combination of pure and impure chemicals.

automatic is a testament to the ability of watchmakers to put hundreds of little parts into a watch case and get them to work all together with close tolerances just to tell time. An automatic watch depends upon movement to power it while a quartz watch uses electricity for its power, typically a battery. It's a matter of opinion as to which is better... But all of those little parts mean that there are more things to break.
