I really love how many imperfections Smoky Quartz has. They were formed as Steven and Amethyst confronted how wrong and different they are, so seeing this mirrored in their form was very satisfying to me. After all, a fusion (according to Guide to the Crystal Gems) is a personification of a relationship between gems, and Smoky Quartz mirrors Steven and Amethytst's relationship as fellow misfits perfectly. I do think they were really ugly in their first shot and many after, but that's what I think is so great about them!
