Brandberg Quartz: Ethically Mined Natural Crystal with Amethyst

Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz

85mm ~ 3 1/2" ~ 250 grams

This larger-than-average Brandberg has beautifully rich amethyst and milky clouds, with a self-healed base. A quarter of a kilo may not be big for Brazil or the Himalayas, but for Brandberg Quartz, it's considered very big. Excellent condition.

"In a crystal we have a clear record of the existence of a formative life principle, and although we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is still a living being". Nikola Tesla.

The Brandberg Mountains in Namibia are 132-135 million years old. These mountains have always been sacred and famed for ancient rock paintings and engravings. The Herero people named Brandberg, Omukuruvaro, 'Mountain of the Gods'. These unique mountains have yielded the most beautiful, high-frequency healing crystals ever discovered.

"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.

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.

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.
