I call this one "the whale"! The point curves and has a smaller point sticking out of it, appearing like a breaching whale.

Smoky quartz from the Erongo region is typically a quite dark brown-black color, with lower clarity due to natural inclusions, and a flat surface luster caused by etching. It grows sculptural angular points with nice striations. Paired with hyalite, the smoky quartz takes on a witchy appearance. I would dub these points "witch's fingers" but there is already a variety of quartz called that so I use "witch's manicure" instead. 

Smoky quartz gets its dark coloration from trace elements that tint dark when the quartz is exposed to natural radiation. Don’t worry, the specimen can't expose you to radiation—even if the hyalite turns "radioactive" green under UV light due to trace elements of uranium.

Hyalite is a form of opal, which in turn is part of the broader quartz family. Related minerals commonly grow together because they have similar requirements for growth: in this case, the availability of silica that is the basis for the quartz family. Growing conditions that initially produced quartz changed, and a later generation of growth deposited the less common hyalite on the specimen.

Hyalite displays botryoidal growth (bunches of “grape-like” round crystals) with a glossy high luster like a layer of bubbles. I think it looks like mermaid caviar! Hyalite can appear fluid with formations that look like the splash from a drip frozen in place, or as if the edge has been peeled up away from the quartz like a tutu. 

Near the base of the "flipper," there is a cluster of fine needle-like growth crystals which I don't believe is hyalite, but may simply be quartz needles. Some appear capped almost like miniature quartz scepter. On other specimens the ends appear cubic and can take on a purple amethyst hue. It's possible they are actually extremely small fluorite crystals, since this fluorite from this locale tends to have a cubic crystal habit.

UV reactivity Hyalite is so strongly UV reactive that you can see it in sunlight. Under indoor lighting it is pale yellow to golden in color, but turns visibly greenish yellow when exposed to the UV in sunlight. 395nm UV fluoresces a strong green, with an icy blue undertone. Best viewed in darker conditions. 365nm UV fluoresces a strong yellowish-green color, generally visible even in bright lighting. No phosphorescence detected.

Exactly as shown
The brushes arrived in a zip bag, unsealed. The two clear brushes come in tubes. The yellow brush was in a sealed plastic bag. The bristles are soft but dense enough that they feel effective and not flimsy. The pricey ($9.99) is okay.

Excellent
Scent: Almond Cocoa Butter
I love this almond soap and lotion set. It smells great and the consistency makes it is easy to pour into individual soap and lotion dispensers when using a funnel. I’ve already purchased another set.
