Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz

50mm ~ 2" ~ 15 grams

Omapeleki Brandbergs are rare because they are only found in a very remote region of the Brandberg range. To access this area, the miner has to 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 in the earth 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 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.
