Brandberg Enhydro Star Cluster: Ethically Mined Natural Quartz

Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz

45mm ~ 1 3/4" ~ 15 grams

This bright Brandberg Enhydro is in pristine condition and sits on a very aesthetic star cluster, with crystals radiating from a central point. The stationary bubble isn't easy to see, so it's marked in one of the pictures. A uniquely beautiful and unusual Brandberg quartz.

"Brandberg Amethyst is a stunning and unique variety of quartz crystal found only in Namibia, Africa - a mystic blend of amethyst, clear and smoky quartz together in one exceedingly high-vibrational crystal. Brandberg Amethyst attunes to pure consciousness and is the most versatile and multi-dimensional healing tool on the planet, unparalleled in its beauty, energy and light.” Judy Hall.

The Brandberg Mountains are Namibia's highest range, with quartz lattices dating to 132-135 million years ago. These mountains are renowned for their ancient rock paintings and engravings. The Herero people named Brandberg 'Omukuruvaro', meaning 'Mountain of the Gods'.

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 use 'ethically mined', but you only know where and how they were 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.
