This is a fabulous Amethyst crystal skull with a rich, grape purple, coloring. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. There are both high clarity areas, and intricate inclusions/patterns for contrast. Including one of my favorite kinds of formations, what I call a Zen garden pattern. I call them that because they remind me of the intricate patterns you see raked into the sand of a Japanese style Zen garden. Very cool! It also has a variety of rainbows and shimmery areas catch the light as you move the stone around in your hands. (Especially in bright sunlight.) Much nicer 'in person' than the photos can show!
There are a few tiny organic spots here and there. These come from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. They can resemble pinpricks/small indents, shallow notches, or fine lines on the surface of the stone. Examples include in/around the nose, and back of the head - among other places. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the crystal. Much nicer than the photos can show! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 3.9oz and measures about 51mm (2" inches) long X 35mm (1 3/8" inches) tall. Code-25071
