This chunky amethyst twin is from Khorixas, Namibia. Both chunky points are double/ extra terminated, and the one twin has a tantric twin of its own. There is an Isis face on the termination of one point. There are fabulous multiple phantoms on display. The points are quite cloudy internally, with pretty lilac amethyst floating around. There are also some smokey stands present. Externally, there is some further side growth creating a skeletal appearance, and there are small patches of sugary new quartz growth. An amethyst twin with oodles of character and very collectible. Ideal for meditation and healing therapies.

Khorixas amethyst might not have the optical clarity of its neighbouring famous Brandberg Quartz, but it’s soft muted lilac purple shadings are just beautiful. Combined with the delicate swirling smokey inclusions, the abundant and striking phantoms, rainbows, and the rare bubble/fluid inclusions, these little amethysts have a rare charm of their own. 
Khorixas is in North West Namibia, and sits north of the Brandberg region. Before 1989 Khorixas was called Welwitschia, after the plant, which can live for centuries. 
Not far from Khorixas is the petrified forest with 300 million year old tree trunks, andTwyfeltein, home of the famous rock engravings.
