PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
Treasures From Lesotho's Highlands 
Lesotho Mountain Quartz is celebrated for its striking formations, including vibrant orange Stilbite, hollow spear Quartz fingers, and Drusy Coated Calcite and Quartz Pseudomorph specimens, showcasing the exceptional beauty of Quartz from the Lesotho Highlands. These treasures have been unearthed by Albert, a long-standing member of the Toprock team. Originally from the Basotho community, Albert began as a grounds worker and has grown to become our head rock cleaner, leading a small team with dedication. Before the COVID plandemic, he occasionally ventured into the highlands, uncovering some of the most remarkable quartz specimens, making his journey as inspiring as the minerals he found for us.
