Namibia's Purple Brandberg Amethyst Crystals

Brandberg Quartz is unique to Namibia.  They are named because of the mountain range they are found in. Brandberg Mountain is located in Damaraland, in the northwestern Namib Desert, near the coast.  Brandberg crystals are all mined by hand without the use of any power tools or excavation machines.  They are found in beds near to the surface.  Compared with normal quartz, Brandbergs don't get that large. Brandbergs over 2 inches are rare.

For me, they are liquid light and people are just drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Their energy is bright and clear, like a beacon or a lighthouse light calling you home. They radiate light and power and often call you into a meditative state effortlessly just by looking at one.  They are sooo luminous and always get a response from people of oohs and aaahhhs.
They are most prized for their super glassy sides, stunning clarity, Amethyst and Smoky phantoms filled interiors. They often have Enhydros, Rainbows and Lepidocrocite which makes them almost playful and just adds to their magic.  Then some have Goethite, even Epidote.  Even the crystals that are not so glassy on the outside can have the most amazing inner worlds.

Energetically, Brandberg crystals bring balance, peace and then bliss follows.  They transport you to the space that is always present in your heart that we often forget is calling us.  Though our messages can be ignored by our daily busyness, holding a Brandberg crystal opens us to that space, the Divine presence, creative genius that is our Source and you recognise it in you, as yourself.  The longer you sit with one of these amazing crystals the bigger the space becomes and states of bliss, laughter and down right silliness can come forth as your child like wonder, fascination and curiosity surface.  Expansion, joy and ease are the blessings that flow out of these magical crystals.

Vibrant purple Amethyst phantoms, with smokey-colored phantom wisps are suspended within a bright and clear Quartz natural crystal point with beautiful crystal structure. The violet to purple Amethyst is the most important and best known gem variety of quartz.
