Brandberg Amethyst Enhydro Smoky Phantom Single Point Purple Crystal High Quality Rocks and Minerals Mineral Specimen Namibia

From my personal collection, available to you now! This top shelf beauty is an excellent example of Brandberg amethyst, from Erongo Region, Namibia. It is a natural crystal with clean structure, striking upward and flanked by smaller crystals. Uniquely, the purple amethyst main crystal features several enhydro bubbles, including one that moves quite a bit! Enhydro bubbles may be water or gas, and may contain multiple phases of formation—when they are water, enhydro bubbles locked in minerals and rocks are thought to be some of the oldest, purest water on the planet. Contact me or follow me on Instagram @phenomenalgems for a video of the bubble moving! I love the color and shape contrasts in this top quality Namibian piece. This appealing specimen features beautiful formation, great interior clarity, hematite inclusions, and a lovely bright purple and smoky shades. (As an unpolished piece, it has minor abrasions and inclusions, which do not lessen it's beauty). This is a high-quality and aesthetic specimen, that will have pride of place in your collection! Brandberg amethyst has become highly sought-after, as existing mines are producing fewer and fewer good quality specimens. This sweet specimen would make a perfect display crystal or meditation aid! Locality: Brandberg area, Erongo Region, Namibia Dimensions: 3.50” x 1-1.38” x 1.00” (89mm x 26-36mm x 26mm) Weight: 73 g (2.6 oz) Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide, and is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet. It is found in a multitude of colors, growth habits, and localities. Quartz may also host a huge variety of different included minerals. Amethyst is the purple variety of Quartz; its color is a result of iron. Calcite is the most abundant carbonate mineral, and forms in the widest variety of habits and colors of any mineral. Healing Properties: Amethyst is one of the earliest used stones for healing purposes--it has long been believed to protect and purify, connecting us to spiritual guides and releasing negative habits. *Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for display, study, and collector interest only.
