Namibia mix with Amethyst, Hyalite, etc. (UV-active) from Namibia – 1 unique flat
This diverse collection features a varied selection of Namibian minerals, including Amethyst, Hyalite, and additional quartz varieties and associated species. Several specimens show well-formed Amethyst crystals in shades ranging from light violet to deep purple, some with distinct color zoning. Other pieces display colorless to glassy Hyalite coatings, which may exhibit fluorescent effects under the right lighting. The flat also includes smaller specimens with minerals such as Goethite, Calcite, Aragonite, or Feldspar.
Namibia is one of Africa’s most important mineral-producing countries. In addition to world-famous localities like Brandberg and Goboboseb, many regions host impressive mineral formations of volcanic and hydrothermal origin. Amethyst, a colored variety of quartz, crystallizes in the trigonal system. Hyalite, by contrast, is an amorphous, water-rich opal glass that often occurs as surface coatings. This flat captures the rich variety, vivid colors, and aesthetic diversity of mineral specimens from Namibia.
