Elestial quartz forms through interrupted growth phases, creating stepped, skeletal faces.

The red colouring is caused by iron oxide-rich clay incorporated during crystallisation.

Petroleum inclusions occur when hydrocarbon fluids become sealed within the quartz as it grows. A rare geological phenomenon.

Namibia is renowned for producing high-quality quartz with complex formation patterns.
