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 teenager.
It has has gorgeous crystalline "windows" and formations all throughout - full of shimmery areas and little rainbows that show up as you move the stone around in your hands. Larger reddish orange HEMATITE inclusions are present throughout, along with some prominent yet delicate black DENDRITIC inclusions in/around the lower jaw and through the right side of the back of the head. These can resemble plant life, but are actually made up of Manganese in this case. I really love the "cap" of blue-grey Agate with interesting spots and bands that is in the top of the head. This area also has some reddish orange Dendritic inclusions - these specifically are made up of Iron.
The level of detail throughout 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.
The stone does have a few small organic spots here and there that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. They can resemble small notches (like in the corner of the right cheekbone - highlighted with ORANGE ARROWS in 2 close-ups), fine lines, shallow indents, etc. ALL inclusions present in this piece come from 100% natural formations in the stone.
It weighs about 8lbs 14.2oz / just over 4kgs and measures approximately 7 1/2" inches long X about 4 3/4" inches wide at the widest point X 5 3/4" inches tall. Code-022524-21584
