In 1869, in the basement laboratory of the Royal Institution in London, John Tyndall sent a beam of white light down a glass tube and slowly filled the tube with a fine haze. Seen from the side, the beam turned blue. Seen from the far end, it looked red. The particles in the haze scattered the short blue wavelengths out of the beam far more easily than the long red ones, and Tyndall concluded that the blue of the sky comes from the same scattering. A bead of Blue Smoky Quartz holds a haze of that kind inside solid quartz.
