Item Description
Quartz is a diverse and prolific mineral, found throughout the world. The renowned Quartz deposits in the Goboboseb Mountains of Namibia have been producing some of the most distinctive and beautiful examples of the species for a couple decades now. Even though a good number of crystals have been found, no two pieces are quite alike, and there are all kinds of variations in terms of color and morphology that make these pieces so interesting. This specimen is a very sharp, well-formed, highly lustrous, gemmy Quartz crystal with a great combination of purple Amethyst, Smoky Quartz and colorless Quartz color zoning, creating excellent defined internal "phantoms". The piece is complete all around, with no major damage, only a TINY bit of roughness on the termination. A lovely piece for the material, it's a must-have for any fan of Quartz or minerals from the Erongo Region of Namibia.
Ex Brian Kosnar specimen.
