This is a weird and cool Australian Tiger Iron Crystal Skull. This one has multi-colored Jasper layers mixed with silvery grey Hematite bands and some interesting organic formations you can feel as you run your fingers over the stone. The patterns in this one almost look painted on, but this is how the stone naturally formed! So cool! There is also a small VUG around the right side of the nose/face. Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible.
There are other small organic inclusions visible here and there. You can feel some of these subtly as you run a finger over them. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural parts of the stone. Much nicer in person, I guarantee it! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 4.1oz and measures approx. 50mm/2" inches long X 33mm/1 5/16" inches tall. Code-21985
