They are also available in some places as tumblestones, selling under the trade name Magdalena Stone. 

Due to the mine closure, they are now not as common as they once were. But there are still quite a few in the hands of wholesalers so it should be possible to obtain some.

The meaning of their name comes from a couple of interesting attributes that makes them resemble what children might have thought a Witches Finger could look like.

These crystals are a weird looking type of quartz that have strange gnarly bumps on them.

They most often occur in a shape that may be thought to be similar to a somewhat disfigured finger of a witch in fairy tales.

They are made from quartz and many have well formed and easily recognized faces, and can occur in some of the common quartz formations.

Many are double terminated with clearly defined points but that isn't often how they are.

Witches Finger Quartz are mostly popular because they are such an unusual member of the quartz family.

It is the many inclusions of minerals that make them look quite unusual in their natural state and quite unlike other types of quartz crystals.
