This beautiful quartz crystal specimen impresses with its unique cactus-like shape. The specimen consists of a large quartz crystal point as a base, which is completely covered by many small, cross-oriented quartz crystal points. This dense arrangement of the fine crystals is reminiscent of the spiky surfaces of cacti, which is where the name "cactus quartz" comes from.
The white, transparent quartz crystals sparkle and glitter in the light and create fascinating light reflections. Due to its special structure, cactus quartz is also known as "spirit quartz" and is often used in esotericism for meditative purposes.
This high-quality specimen comes from the well-known Boekenhouthoek quartz site in South Africa. The region is famous for its exceptional quartz deposits and crystal formations.
