Some crystals look and feel ancient. The geology of this area is 125 million years old, so it's genuinely ancient, but this one is old even by Brandberg standards.
A little old damage, self-healing, a large, easily seen moving bubble in the tip
Omapeleki Brandbergs are rare because they form only in a remote region of the Brandberg range. To access this area, miners must walk at least two days to and from the dig, carrying food, water, and, on the return, crystals. That is the closest any vehicle can get. They are the brightest of all Brandbergs and uniquely energetic.
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 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 nearly 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
