Cindy,

    You may have two sources for this material. 

    You can try searching on eBay for old Scottish kilt pins. Once in a
    while you can find one that is damaged and available at a reasonable
    price. Some of these brooches had a large center stone that was
    often a Smokey quartz. 

    Another source that you may want to look into is in Germany.  I am
    not familiar with a current source but in The regions of Idar and
    Oberstein the cutters where known for cutting different varieties of
    quartz. There could be someone there with old material. 

Good Luck
