This is a life size AGATE GEODE Ram crystal skull. Shown next to a 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison. Approximately the size of a human toddler. Perfect for an Aries!
It weighs about 5lbs 9.1oz / 2.526kgs and measures about 6 1/2" inches long by 6" inches wide at the widest point by about 5" inches tall. Code-020724-21554
The crystals in the center of the vug are incredibly sparkly! While most are Quartz, some have little inclusions of red Hematite mixed into them. The vug itself goes all the way through the center. The "rind", or outer shell, on this particular Geode was heavily made up of Agate, which is visible throughout as dark blue-grey with subtle banding, spots/"eyes", and tiny DENDRITIC inclusions mixed in in several places. Though they can resemble tiny plant-life, they are made up of Manganese (brown, reddish brown) and Manganese (black) in this case.
Photos can NOT possibly show how stunning this skull is (although we do our best to bring the vibration across!). It is so much nicer 'in person'!
Besides the central vug, there are some small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the skull was shaped. They may resemble pinpricks, small notches, or fine lines on the surface of the stone. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations within the stone. The carver worked with the natural shape of the Geode throughout the entire piece.
As a totem animal, the Ram is thought to be a portent of change and new beginnings. It is considered an intellectual totem. The Ram reminds us that life is always in motion, and that some opportunities must be grabbed quickly and without hesitation. With thought AND action combined, you can go from merely finding a small toe-hold to cresting the summit of the metaphorical mountain quickly!
Geodes are used to assist in effective communication and are said to facilitate astral travel. They are also thought to aid in the study of mathematics.
All forms of Agate are felt to be potentially powerful stones.
They are said to impart courage and increase energy levels in bursts, and so may be used when a big ‘push’ is needed.
Agate is used to enhance creativity and stimulate the intellect, and has been favored by students and artists.
It is considered a stone that brings good luck and is very calming and soothing. Agate may bring increased feelings of self-confidence and lessen feelings of envy, by grounding the energy and the emotions.
Agates are felt to support one’s love of, and harmony with, Nature.
Agates are the most well known stones for balancing the subtle energies and to assist with protection, (especially of children.)
Agate in general is a stone of inner harmony. It's thought that when you bring yourself into a place of inner harmony, the result can be an enhanced ability to heal oneself.
Many agates have similar properties, but look for a particular variety to see if that one is for specialized applications. Always pick the stone that you are strongly attracted to!
Dendritic inclusions combine the many useful qualities of the base stone with Manganese (black) and/or Iron (brown), which is the actual mineral content of the "plant life"-like inclusions.
They facilitate a harmonious relationship with Mother Earth, and a deeper connection with nature, including the Nature Spirits.
They also are used for facilitating Past Life recall and processing how to integrate and grow from knowledge gleaned from those lives.
In Crystal Healing, they have often been used for bruises, circulation, digestion, sprains, and strains. They are associated with the Third Eye Chakra.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
Hematite (sometimes spelled Hemetite). Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones. It is said to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life. It deflects and dissolves negative energies.
Hematite is said to help one to 'sort things out' and can be used for memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. Hematite, especially in its natural crystalline form, is traditionally thought to bring peace, self-control and inner happiness.
It is a calming energy and is said to attract "kind" love and act as a stabilizing force.
In Crystal Healing, Hematite is used to calm the nerves, reduce pain, decrease insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers used it for blood disorders.
Hematite is associated with the Root Chakra.

The first layer you encounter when working with any skull, including Synergy, is "to remember." This is the first layer - and this layer has many other layers within it. What you are to called to remember is who you really are. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily things and forget that each life is short and sweet, even with the difficulties. The real you is a Being of Light. You are a Spiritual Being, inside of a physical body. "Remember."

People have asked me about how I clear my stones. You can read my BLOG entries on this site about working with crystals and skulls for details. Every one of the skulls and stones that I list has been with Synergy and is fully charged with the energy - after all - that's the whole point of me offering them to the public!
