Item Description

Some of the finest quality and diverse Quartz specimens in the world come from the Goboboseb Mountain in Namibia. Truly most of these specimens are labeled as Brandberg, but the actual pieces from from the mountain which is about 8 miles away from there. Here we have a very sharp and lustrous Quartz crystal with eye-catching Amethyst "phantoms" in the center of the piece. This is one of the last specimens that Rich Kosnar personally purchased for his collection before he died.
