Brandberg amethyst is a unique variety of quartz that combines amethyst,smoky and clear quartz in a single crystal.
The mineral class is silicates and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system.
Hardness is 7 on the MOHs scale.
Brandberg amethyst is formed through a complex multimillion year process in volcanic environments.
The crystals form where hot mineral rich fluids fill fractures and cavities within the host rock. Over millions of years these fluids cool down slowly to form the quartz crystal.
