Ethically hand-mined Brandberg Quartz
A perfect example of the super-rare Master Self-Healed formation in a bright Omapeleki Brandberg.
Omapeleki Brandbergs are rare because they are dug in a very remote region of the Brandberg range. To access this area the miner has to walk at least 2 days to and 2 days back from the dig, carrying food and water there and food, water and crystals back. That is the closest any vehicle can get. We were fortunate to have acquired a batch of Omapelekis recently. They are uniquely energetic.
There are various grades of Master Self-Healed crystals, largely dependent on how easy it is to identify a formation so rare that few have ever seen one. We describe "cloud bands" and "localised curvature" and often mention that one unfamiliar with the formation might find it difficult to identify.
You could give this crystal to a child and they could point out the fracture-line. Master Self-Healed formations don't get any better than this.
"Another type of self-healed crystal is one which has been broken (exhibiting the break in the horizontal plane, or close to the horizontal strata), with the break being healed and the crystal structure being again complete. This crystal is the master crystal in the art of self-healing." Melody, Love is in the Earth.
Kacha Stones is the original ethically mined crystal shop, trading since 1996. Ethical sourcing is important not only for the environment and mining communities, but can also affect the crystal's energy. Although most crystal shops now use the "ethically mined" prefix, it is only possible by buying directly from miners. We have spent nearly 30 years cultivating relationships with miners from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the deserts of Namibia - a labour of love!
