Skeletal or Fenster (German for 'window') Quartz refers to a growth pattern in which the edges of the faces grow faster than their centres, leaving a hollow, layered interior, or 'framed' faces.

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.

“The Elestial can assist in activating and furthering the activities of the third eye and can stimulate an increase in abilities associated with clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience.” Melody, Love is in the Earth.

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 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 it was mined if you buy from the miners. For nearly 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
