Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz

170 x 110 x 60mm - 1106 grams

This beautiful, larger Brandberg cluster has spectacularly self-healed into fully formed terminations. What is unusual about this cluster is that the entire top has self-healed. I used arrows to show the extent of this. There is not a single crystal on the cluster that has not self-healed to perfection. That makes it uncommon, and when you consider this Brandberg cluster is over a kilo, that makes it seriously rare. 'Rare' is used far too often and often inaccurately. The real test of genuine rarity is 'can I find another ?'

Brandberg geology, dating back over 132 million years, allows for extraordinary levels of self-healing, and this is a remarkable example.

"Another type of self-healed crystal is one which has been broken (exhibiting the break in the horizontal plane, or close to the horizontal strata), with the break being healed and the crystal structure being again complete. This crystal is the master crystal in the art of self-healing." Melody, Love is in the Earth.

"The self-healed crystal, having learned to heal itself, can lend this knowledge to the user and can share the experience of self-healing. One may use the crystal for healing of the self or in "crystal healing” of another person. Melody, Love is in the Earth.

The Brandberg Mountains in Namibia are 132-135 million years old! These mountains are renowned for their ancient rock paintings and engravings. The Indigenous Damara people named the mountain Dâures 'Burning Mountain' because of its unearthly orange glow at sunset. The Herero people named Brandberg 'Omukuruvaro' ('Mountain of the Gods'). These sacred mountains have yielded the most beautiful, high-frequency healing crystals ever discovered.

Kacha Stones is the original ethically mined crystal shop, trading since 1996. Ethical sourcing is important not only for the environment and mining communities, but also for preserving the crystal's energy. Blasting a hole in the earth and collecting the remains does not produce the best crystals.

Nearly all crystal shops now use 'ethically mined', but you only know where and how it was mined if you buy from the miners. For 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
