Brandberg Amethyst Flame Crystal

The Brandberg Mountains rise out of a red desert to form the highest range in Namibia. The summit, Königstein, German for "King's Stone", stands at over 2,500 metres. These mountains have always been held sacred and are famed for ancient rock paintings and engravings. The indigenous Damara people named the mountain Dâures, which means "Burning Mountain". Brandberg is German for "Fire Mountain", because of its unearthly orange glow at sunset. The Herero people named Brandberg, Omukuruvaro, "Mountain of the Gods".
