This is a beautiful Crystal Skull made from Australian Mookaite. Sometimes also known as "Mookite Jasper", or "Mookite". It has a vivid golden yellow coloring with accents of cream, reddish orange, and some dark red/reddish purple. Plus, quite a few black DENDRITIC inclusions throughout. These may resemble tiny plant-life, but are actually composed of Manganese.
There are a few tiny organic inclusions throughout the stone that you can feel subtly as you run a finger over them. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. The photos don't do it justice! Much nicer in person. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 5oz and measures 59mm (2 3/8" inches) long X 41mm (just over 1 1/2" inches) tall. Code-080424-21982

It can help one balance the internal and external, aiding in the acceptance of the inevitability of change.
It is used to ease stress and increase vitality and stamina; it is also felt to assist one in working through depression and in the development of emotional balance.
Mookaite is a protective stone, mainly and particularly good as an emotional protector.
Similar to it’s “cousin” Polychrome Jasper, it is also used to connect more deeply with animals and spirit animal allies, especially one’s personal totems and power animals.
In Crystal Healing, Mookaite is said to stabilize one's health and fortify the immune system.
Mookaite is associated with the lower three Chakras.
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.
It facilitates a harmonious relationship with Mother Earth, and a deeper connection with nature, including the Nature Spirits.
It is also used for facilitating Past Life recall and processing how to integrate and grow from knowledge gleaned from those lives.
In Crystal Healing, it has often been used for bruises, circulation, digestion, sprains, and strains.
They are associated with the Third Eye.
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.
