Labelled previously as Brandberg, it is widely accepted that most of these famous sceptred Quartz crystals came from the nearby Goboboseb Mountains. With a well-defined Milky Quartz straight hexagonal prism as a stem and a well-balanced bipyramidal Smoky Quartz top, this miniature specimen is a classic and comes from Hans Engelbrecht's collection (no. 6505). It does display some slight wear to its tip and one corner at the base of its pyramidal top and is not as glassy as some specimens, but it presents a wonderful overall shape.
