Chiredzi in Zimbabwe is known for darker amethyst smoky quartz crystals which are very Brandberg-like. Chiredzi Amethyst is a blend of Amethyst, Clear Quartz, and Smoky Quartz that commonly contains inclusions. They often appear in sceptre, skeletal/fenster formations, or elestial formations and are more likely to contain enhydros - moving bubbles of fluid or air trapped inside.

These gorgeous pieces weigh 30-40 grams and are reasonably large for crystals from this area.

• Some have scepter formations
• Lots of windows and crystalline internal cavities
  
• Elestial quartz formations
• Lots of phantom colouration
• Small marks and contact damage. These crystals are mined in areas by hand and by the Shangaan tribe to whom this land belongs. They often have some tool marks and the like.

Shangaan crystals and crystals from the Chiredzi region are said to have incredibly strong vibrational power. They are rare and highly sought after. They are said to possess incredible energy. The presence of Amethyst and Smoky Quartz in these stones acts like a bridge between the upper and lower energy centres, allowing the manifestation of high spiritual ideals in the lower physical worlds.

Amethyst Smoky Quartz: brings together two wonderful stones and combines their properties to bring forth a high vibrational stone that is very protective as well as detoxifying or cleansing to one’s body and soul. Just like Amethyst, Amethyst Smoky Quartz helps to open the Third Eye and assist you in contacting higher beings/spiritual energies and once you have made contact it will then through the Smoky Quartz element help to ground those energies firmly. The two stones work wonderfully in combination to clear and then shield once all negative energies/being/influences are removed helping to prevent them from returning.

Sceptre Crystals: These crystals are symbols of power. The energy flows to the heart of everything. They are energy powerhouses and command respect when using them. A Quartz Scepter is a powerful manifesting crystal and must be used wisely. Make sure it is something you really want, or more importantly, actually need!

Elestial Quartz Properties: Ancient knowledge, master healer, light codes, angelic support, clairvoyance, higher consciousness, detoxification, integration, evolution, manifestation, life path
