Welcome to Kristall Galerie - Swakopmund, Namibia
The Kristall Galerie located in Swakopmund, Namibia was founded in 1998 showcasing a variety of specimens, crystals and cut gemstones. Today the exhibition is surrounded by three jewellery boutiques, a souvenir shop, a scratch patch (our gem garden), a rock cave and a studio where visitors can watch artists at work adding value to the semi-precious stones.
Among the interesting attractions are the quartz crystal clusters. The Kristall Galerie houses the largest known quartz crystal cluster on display in the world. This awe inspiring natural wonder is estimated to be approximately 520 million years old. It was discovered at a farm in the Erongo region of Namibia in August 1985. It is 3m high and 3m wide and weighs a whopping 14 100 kg. The delicate work to excavate it took a full five years.
