This is a life size AMETHYST GEODE crystal skull. Shown next to a 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison. Approximately the size of a small teenager.
Fantastically gorgeous. The crystalline structure of this one is just amazing, and visible from every angle. Small shimmery areas and rainbows catch the light in it as you move the stone around in your hands. LOTS of dark red/reddish orange HEMATITE all throughout, with a brighter golden yellow area right in the tip of the nose! :-> The large central Amethyst vug has beautiful sparkly crystals all the way through - you can even see through the underside if you hold it up to the light. Some of the Amethyst crystals have traces of Hematite on the points as well. There is a fancy looking area of Agate in/around the chin, which has its own VUGS as well. A thin one on the right corner of the jawline that is lined with sparkly Druzy crystals, and a really unique looking larger one in/around the middle of the teeth running down into the left corner of the jawline. It has dark reddish brown crystal formations inside. Larger golden yellow DENDRITIC inclusions are present in this same area. They can resemble plant life but are actually composed of Iron in this case.
Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible.
It weighs about 6lbs 12.9oz / 3.088kgs and measures approximately 7 1/2" long X 4 1/2" wide X 5 1/2" tall. Code-020623-20707
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 larger vugs, 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.
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.

Amethyst is also associated with Angels and is an excellent stone for meditation or dream work and past life work. It has been used to protect against psychic attacks, but is not as effective alone, as when used with other protection stones.
Amethyst has also been used to help ease the pain of grief. It is reputed to be useful when working through money issues and legal problems.
It’s also been called a stone of prosperity and abundance.
In Crystal Healing, Amethyst is said to beneficial when overcoming any kind of addiction, compulsive behaviors and OCD.

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!
Rainbows in Crystals aka Rainbow crystals. These are said to be able to manifest some of the purest energies on the physical plane and assist in raising one's spiritual vibrations. It is thought that they may assist one in moving through negativity.
They have long been thought to be very helpful in achieving Lucid Dreaming, and are also used in other types of dream work, as they are said to bring about spiritual understanding and clarity to dreams.
They are also used to help manifest, and become aware of, the true meaning of one's "waking dreams."
The Rainbows are believed to assist one in knowing what is appropriate to focus on manifesting.
Rainbow crystals are used during meditation and divination.
They remind us to enjoy and appreciate living in the present moment.
They are associated with the Third Eye.
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.
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."
Crystal skulls are tools of awareness and they can:
Focus Energy
Reflect Energy
Attune Energy
Transmit Energy
Transform Energy
Store Energy
Amplify Energy
