Uiba-Oas Crystal Market
Ref. No.: Uiba-Oas Crystal Market – For over a decade the crystal ‘shop stands’ at the Spitzkoppe turnoff along the B2 between Usakos and Swakopmund were just a set of make-shift miners, hoping to attract tourists for a small income for the poor Ûiba-Ôas community there. These are a collection of small scale semi precious crystal miners. The name “Uiba Oas” translates into “Seeking a livelihood”. In September 2010 it was endorsed and inaugurated by the Namibian Government in conjucting with the European Union & the Rossing Foundation. This facility is for small-scale miners, collectively known as the Erongo Region Small-Scale Miners Stakeholder Forum, near Usakos at the Spitzkoppe T-junction. The market is the outcome of one of the aims the Small-Scale Miners Stakeholders Forum embarked upon in 2004 and is situated at the Spitzkoppe. The sale of crystal specimens and semi-precious stones has been a growth sector of the micro-economy of the Erongo Region. Thus if you are ever visiting the famous Spitzkoppe Mountain range, please stop by the Uiba Oas Crystal Market and browse through what they have to offer, you might just see an awesome semi precious stone or gem that catches you eye.
