Most of what you see from Brandberg are the pretty single crystals, but once in awhile you see a matrix specimen such as this. Here is a cluster of a half-dozen razor-sharp crystals, on a matrix of colorless quartz. The crystals have a gorgeous blend of smoky and amethystine colors, which you find in the most desirable Brandberg specimens. These are the truncated "beta-style" (if not technically betas) crystals, some of them around the edges showing both terminations.
