PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This is a Large Natural Smokey Brandberg Window Quartz Crystal in a white-clear crystalline Calcite Vug, set in a Basalt Matrix. It's a natural vug that has been cut out of the 80 million year old Basalt layer. This piece is also highly Fluorescent, with the Calcite going a nice bright Orange-Red under the UV Lights. This, with the nice long central Intact Smokey Window Crystal makes for a Classic Matrix Vug Specimen. Beauty!
These Beautiful Window Crystals are approx 80 million years old from the Beautiful Brandberg Mountain range in Namibia and grow inside of the " Bubble Cavities" (Geodes/Vugs) in the layers of volcanic basalt spew from a previous eruption period. The crystals grow from the silica content in the molten/hot basalt magma and there are usually the tell-tale signs of crystal growth inside from the multiple visible layers formed from hot and colder geological periods of growth. Being so hot in Brandberg, Namibia, the Enhydro/ moisture/ precipitation that forms on/in layers on them them from extreme hot and cold, often boils and bursts and forms the "window" layers the more layers there are, the more enhydros boiled and bust, leaving larger cavities in the crystals and enabling even more water to gather inside of them. I have seen the enhydros burst in the hot sun while visiting Brandberg (which is heartbreaking when this happens..but pop and shatter they do!) which is exactly why they are called Window or Venster Quartz.
