A large, beautifully clear Quartz skull with genuinely impressive internal rainbows and natural iron inclusions scattered throughout. We love pieces like this because the glassy clarity lets light travel straight through the carving, throwing rainbows across the desk or shelf it sits on depending on the angle of the sun. Measures approximately 3.90 inches front to back, 2.62 inches wide, and 2.90 inches tall, a substantial statement size.
About crystal skulls: popular lore often traces crystal skull carving back to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, but most quartz skulls in circulation today, including this one, are modern carvings made by skilled lapidary artists. The skull form has long served as a memento mori symbol across cultures, a reminder to stay present, which sits in interesting contrast with a stone so strongly tied to amplification and clarity.
The geology: Clear Quartz is pure silicon dioxide (SiO2), the most abundant mineral on Earth's continental crust. The Greeks called it krustallos, the root of our word crystal, because they believed it was permanently frozen ice. Mohs hardness 7.

In crystal traditions, Clear Quartz is called the Master Healer and considered the most versatile crystal there is, said to amplify the energy of anything placed near it and work with all chakras.
