This is a life size Agate GEODE crystal skull. Shown next to standard sized 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison. This is approximately the size of a human adult (maybe a little larger). Absolutely gorgeous!
Incredibly energetic! Blue-grey Agate in the face and back of the head sandwich together fantastic Quartz geode formations in the middle. The Agate has intricate banding present, and some of the areas around the left eye socket even have a faint violent tint to them in some light. Reddish orange HEMATITE streaks are visible mixed into the Quartz, along with small shimmery areas and rainbows that catch the light as you move the stone around. (Especially visible in bright light/sunlight.) There are a couple of smaller VUGS on either side of the head (behind the eye sockets). Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible.
The level of detail in the Quartz geode inclusions is just beautiful. Each time you look at this one, you'll find a new and cool formation to focus on. One of a kind and super energetic! Much nicer in person than any photo could ever show - I guarantee it.
Besides the vugs, it may have a few small organic spots that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present in this piece come from 100% natural formations in the stone.
It weighs about 11lbs 12.1oz and measures approximately 8 5/8" inches long X 5 1/2" inches wide at the widest point X 6" inches tall. Code19114

Quartz is often said to be the crystal or "stone" that everyone needs to start with. Quartz is the most recognized type of crystal and is what many people think of when they hear the word crystal - although there are many, many different types of crystals in all kinds of stones.
Quartz can be as clear as ice (ancients called quartz ‘Holy Ice’ and thought that it came from the heavens) or milky white.
It can have inclusions, veils, bubbles, unusual formations, etc.
Clarity is not important for a quartz crystals energetic quality and in fact, inclusions and impurities can make the crystal more energetic and increase it’s ability to amplify subtle energies. Without a few 'imperfections, the energy is often not as intense. Lab crystals are grown with impurities on purpose and depending on the type and placement, will change the frequency that the crystal oscillates at.
Quartz can store energy, amplify it, focus it, transmit it, transform it, balance it, absorb it…
Various types and formations are better for some things than others.
