Item Description

Some of the most attractive, finest quality and diverse Quartz specimens in the world come from the Goboboseb Mountain in Namibia. A good number of these specimens were originally labeled as coming from Brandberg, but the actual pieces are from the mountains about 8 miles away from there. This specimen is a very good quality, sharp, well-formed, doubly-terminated Quartz crystal with colorless areas along with purple Amethyst zones inside. The piece has great luster and superb internal clarity to boot. The most interesting aspect of the piece is that is contains TWO moving water bubbles! We did our best to show the bubblse in the video, and there are still photos of each bubble for reference. There is very minor roughness in a few spots, so it's not 100% perfect, but it's still a very high quality crystal overall.
