Locality: Erongo Mountains, Usakos Area, Erongo Region, The Republic of Namibia
 
This crystal comes from the Erongo Mountains near Usakos.  Namibia is famous for its Brandberg Amethyst Crystal but most come from the Brandberg region's Goboboseb mountains which are made out of basalt.  Skeletal Quartz crystals are sometimes called "Fenster" (German word for window), due to the fact that the pyramidal and prism faces have a skeletal form which gives them the appearance of a window.  The prism faces of this specimen are not clearly shown but it makes it such a unique piece for the collectors! The brownish to reddish colored inclusions are some kind of pocket clay that was frozen inside the Quartz as it was crystallizing.  Where there are no inclusions, the Quartz crystals are glass-clear and have glassy surfaces. It is so beautiful when it is backlit due to its high transparency.
