Shangaan Smokey Amethyst Specimen No8

Shangaan amethyst is the trade name for beautiful, smokey amethyst mined by the Shangaan tribal people. It comes from the Chibuku mine located in Zimbabwe near the border with Mozambique.

Shangaan Amethyst is an alchemy of Amethyst, Clear Quartz, and Smokey Quartz that commonly contains Red Hematite Inclusions that can appear as either flecks or elongated streaks of red or black. It is commonly found in Skeletal/Venster formations, Elestial formations, as well as Scepters. Due to how they grow and form, Shangaan Amethysts are more likely to contain Enhydros

The Shangaan amethyst is dug up by the local Shangaan tribe and their Chief - Chief Gezani has made two simple rules surrounding the ethics of mining these crystals;

    If a tree is cut, 5 must be planted.
    If a hole is made, it must be re-filled.

These crystals are a sacred find and the tribals are extremely proud to have this in their land and is probably why the crystals have such an amazing and beautiful energy!!
