General Description
Spirit Quartz often called Cactus Quartz or Fairy Quartz depending on the exact habit comes from the north western region of South Africa. The deposits are mined by individual miners who simply own a small piece of land which scatters the areas of the deposit. The material is not mined on a commercial level but rather you have hundreds of individuals mining their own small area, often in their back gardens. The most sought after material is dark Amethyst, but every other colour is also mined and far more regularly. Only 1% of the deposits yield Amethyst with the balancing producing white, ametrine, golden healer limonite, or variable habits in a range of mixed colours. Smokey material does occur from time to time but is extremely rare. Spirit Quartz is one of South Africa's main exports in terms of mineral specimens. Material often goes through extensive cleaning before it comes onto the open market as the majority is encrusted in Iron prior to the cleaning process. We have numerous suppliers of the material and all material is inspected graded and priced accordingly. A grade material is generally best for high end collectors and pricing is generally exceptionally high. However, we try to focus on commercial grade material for retail sector. Price is grade dependant. Item/s are as shown.
