Brandberg Quartz Black Phantom Enhydro Quartz

Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz

80 x 53mm ~ 3 1/4" ~ 216 grams

This larger Brandberg has two moving bubbles. The first one in the video is easily seen (more so in person than with my limited video skills), and the larger one is around 7mm and has excellent movement.

If you're looking for an enhydro 'bubble quartz', they don't get much better than this. There is also a rare Black Phantom.

"Black Phantom Quartz Crystals are very unusual. They provide the energy of the quartz, coupled with the property of grounding; this grounding is via the perfect alignment of the physical energy centres, which occurs with the use of this mineral. Hence, with a black phantom crystal, one does not require an additional stone for grounding." Melody, Love is in the Earth.

"Enhydros contain a life-sustaining energy, initiating adaptability in situations that could otherwise become stressful. Strength to help other minerals perform in the requisite manner." Melody, Love is in the Earth.

The ancient geology of this part of Namibia (the oldest desert on earth at 55 million years), means Brandberg enhydros contain water around 1.2 million years old. The vibration of pure water, amplified by the surrounding quartz, is powerfully healing.

Since 1996, Kacha Stones has specialised in ethically mined crystals. Ethical sourcing is important for the environment, mining communities, and keeping the crystal's energy intact. Blasting a hole in the earth and collecting the rubble does not produce the best crystals.

Most crystal shops use 'ethically mined', but this is only possible by buying directly from miners. For 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
