This is a weird and cool African Tiger Iron Crystal Skull. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. It has been here charging with Synergy for 8+ years, and is finally ready to go out into the world!
This one has some shimmery Tiger Eye layers mixed with very intricate striped patterns from layers of earth tone colored Jasper and silvery grey Hematite! I love the shimmery areas around the left side of the head that catch the light as you move this one around in your hands, but I also really like the almost wood grain-like patterns. They are mesmerizing! MUCH nicer 'in person' than photos can show.
There are some small organic spots here and there. These come from inclusions that were close to the surface as the skull was shaped and polished. They can resemble indents, fine lines/fissures, or pinpricks in the stone. ALL inclusions present are 100% natural parts of the stone. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 2.9oz and measures approx. 45mm (1 3/4" inches) long X 30mm (1 1/8" inches) tall. Code-052923-20930
