A NOTE FROM NICK
This exquisite and extremely unusual extra large cascading Smokey Window Quartz Sceptre will blow your mind. It is quite exceptional and specimens like this only come up once in a blue moon! Layers of smokey window crystalline single crystals sitting on a single white crystal in the center. This comes from an old collection and even though it sounds expensive it's not for what you will get and they would charge more for this if you bought it directly from Brandberg mining area in todays times.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Brandberg crystals and minerals from the Erongo Region of Namibia are renowned for their exceptional beauty and variety, primarily sourced from the Goboboseb Mountains near the Brandberg Massif. This area is celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest quartz specimens, including amethyst, smoky quartz, and clear rock crystal, often featuring unique formations like sceptres, phantoms, and enhydros (crystals with trapped water bubbles). These quartz crystals frequently exhibit striking color zoning, with combinations of purple amethyst, smoky hues, and transparent sections, sometimes enhanced by inclusions such as hematite, lepidocrocite, or goethite. Beyond quartz, the region yields other notable minerals like aquamarine, tourmaline, jeremejevite, and prehnite, prized by collectors for their clarity and vibrant colors. The geological richness of this volcanic basalt landscape, combined with its remote desert setting, makes Brandberg and Erongo a globally significant source of high-quality mineral specimens.
