This is a Ruby Zoisite / Rubycrosite RAVEN crystal skull! My bird skulls have been carved with loving care, and have great energy. Each one is unique and the details are exquisite! I have a hard time getting these.
Rich green Zoisite (with some shimmery areas mixed in!) is accented by black Hornblende, and dark reddish purple/pink RUBY inclusions! In more scientific circles this stone combination is sometimes known as "Anyolite" because "Anyoli" is the Maasai word for "green". This one combines green Zoisite with dark red/purple Ruby crystals, black Tschermakite/Hornblende, and a small amount of white highlights. It is mainly found in Tanzania.
You can feel a few subtle organic inclusions as you run your fingers over the stone. Including a little sharper piece around a black Hornblende inclusion at the tip of the beak. These come from formations close to the surface as the stone was shaped and polished. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. I inspect each piece very carefully before photographing it. A very special addition to any collection! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
As the eye sockets are drilled all the way through, you could also string a cord or leather thong through them to wear it as a pendant, affix to a staff, etc.
It weighs about 0.9oz (light for the size because of the material and shape) and is approximately 59mm / 2 5/16" inches long (back to front) X 20mm / just over 3/4" inch tall. Code19342
