The term Brandberg is associated with the geographical mountainous area in the northwestern Namib desert, near the coast, covering an area of approximately 650 km2 while its highest point (the Königstein peak) reaches an altitude of 2573 m above sea level making it the highest summit in Namibia.
Geologically, it is a granitic complex, 25 km across, that intruded the surrounding rocks in Jurassic-Cretaceous time. The rising and setting sun casts onto the granite a characteristic red-brown colour alluding the mountain being on fire, hence its name Brandberg which in German translates into "Burnt Mountain".
Important mineral collecting note: Over the years, the term Brandberg has been associated with the famous amethyst quartz specimens as their locality of origin. However this is not correct, with the true locality of these specimens actually being the Goboboseb mountains, lying some 15 km west of the edge of the Brandberg complex. In fact, mineral collecting is prohibited in the Brandberg area as it is a national monument.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Late Jurassic : 149 ± 1 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
