Description
Tsekeite is a rare stone found only in Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia (Afrikaans: Republiek van Namibië; English: Republic of Namibia; German: Republik Namibia), a country in southern Africa, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean between Angola and South Africa. The Caprivi Strip, a narrow strip of land between Botswana to the south and Angola and Zambia to the north, also belongs to Namibia. To the north, the Kunene, Okavango, and Zambezi rivers form natural borders with Angola and Zambia; to the south, the Orange River is the border with South Africa. To the northeast, the 21st meridian forms the border with Botswana, and to the southeast, the 20th meridian.
Tsekeite is the perfect stone for grounding; admittedly, it does not look pretty, but its effect is very powerful, creating a strong connection with the earth and making you feel at home wherever you are with the stone.
About Namibia: It has several biomes, including desert, semi-desert, savanna, and wetlands. The country's five major geographic regions are: the Central Plateau, the Namib Desert, the Great Plateau Rim, the Bosveld, and the Kalahari. The Namib Desert is Namibia's most famous desert and runs along a large section of the Namibian coast. A renowned nature reserve in the Namib Desert is Sossusvlei, next to which is also Deadvlei. The coastal areas consist of a sandy desert with a sand sea. This has been a World Heritage Site since 2013. Further inland, there is a gravel desert. Short grasses such as dune grass (Stipagrostis sabulicola) and shrubs such as the pencil plant (Euphorbia tirucalli), the dollar bush (Zygophyllum stapfii), and Welwitschia mirabilis are the dominant flora. Only 10 to 80 mm of rain falls annually, mainly in the summer, although dry spells lasting four to five years do occur. In addition, damp and cold fog occurs up to 50 km inland, caused by the cold Benguela Current along the coast. The dominant vegetation of the semi-desert consists of grasses, low shrubs such as the dry-dorn (Rhigozum trichotomum) and the bitterbush (Chrysocoma ciliata), and small trees such as the sweet-dorn (Acacia karroo) and the tamarisk (Tamarix usneoides). Rainfall ranges from 100 to 520 mm annually, mainly in the summer.
