Kaktus kvarc

Kaktus kvarc (cactus quartz) je oblik kvarca, najčešće ametist ili citrine, ili njihova kombinacija, koji se sastoji od jednog ili više velikih kristala na kojima su izrasli manji, "bodljikavi" kristali. Zbog mnoštva tih sekundarnih kristala koji mu daju specifičan izgled  (i svetlucanje) ovaj obllik je dobio ime - kaktus. Kaktus kvarc je specifičan za mesto  Boekenhoutshoek (Magaliesberg) u Južnoj Africi, gde je i otkriven 1986. godine.

Pored ovog imena često se može naći i pod nazivom "Spirit" kvarc, kako ga lokalno stanovništvo zove, jer ga, po tradiciji, plemenski vrač koristi u ritualima za isceljenje. Pripisuju mu se posebne ezoterične osobine.
