The Northern Cape Province is a mineral rich area that covers several hundred kilometres. It includes the famous Kalahari Manganese Fields and well know mines like N'Chwaning, Blesberg and Jan Coetzee.

Springbok is the capital town of this area and lies on a national road (N7) approx 550 km north of Cape Town.    

This area is of special interest to us because of its interesting quartz specimens.

Steinkopf, some 50 km north of Springbok, yields beautiful smokeys and phantoms, while Pella, a small mission station on the banks of the Orange River (150 km NE of Springbok), has a coloured community that mines a wide assortment of crystals from the nearby river banks.

These specimens include orange hematite covered quartz crystals, clear crystals with green, orange, red, black and amethyst phantoms, to mention just a few.
