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 classic GEM quality Quartz crystal with a distinct and eye-catching Amethyst "phantom" floating in the center of the piece. The crystal has great luster and form, plus it is about as sharp a Quartz crystal gets. This is one of the last specimens that Rich Kosnar personally purchased for his collection before he died.
