Magaliesberg Cactus Quartz Last updated 11/10/2011

The Magaliesberg is one of the oldest Mountain Ranges in the world - 2300 Million Years Old, or 100 times the age of the Himalayas.
The bundles of small crystals that encircle the bases of larger crystals typify Magaliesberg Crystal, which forms as Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine or Ametrine. Sometimes a combination of these.
Probably due to the age of the Magaliesberg and the fact that this range is considered to be the “Cradle Of Humankind”, an inordinate number of the Magaliesberg Crystals exhibit the properties of a Record Keeper. That is, one or more raised perfect triangles located on one or more of the crystal faces.
The Record Keeper is a crystal within which wisdom is stored, and from which ancient knowledge and the profound secrets of the universe can be psychically retrieved
Magaliesberg Crystals can be used in meditation to provide insights into family and/or community problems. They can also help to stimulate group cohesiveness and a willingness to work together.
