The crystals mined here don't look like any other Brandbergs and are typically tapered laser crystals. While not as pretty as some Brandbergs, they are extremely energetic, and the altitude and remoteness at which they are mined make them rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlassy, pale green, thick needles can be seen growing through smoky quartz. Green tourmaline in Brandberg Quartz is incredibly rare. The fact that this is a relatively rare Königstein Brandberg adds considerably to its uniqueness. A larger inclusion is seen, totally enclosed, just under the self-healed base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1996, Kacha Stones has specialised in ethically mined crystals. Ethical sourcing is vital for the environment, mining communities, and the preservation of the crystal's energy. Blasting a hole in the earth and collecting the remains does not produce the best crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost crystal shops now 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kacha Stones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56449515684220,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3279\/1618\/files\/il_fullxfull.7821935977_i6n6.jpg?v=1772740582","url":"https:\/\/kacha-stones.com\/products\/konigstein-brandberg-self-healed-smoky-91123","provider":"Kacha Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
