This is a lifesize BLACK OBSIDIAN crystal skull. Shown next to a standard 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison. It weighs 10lbs 6.5oz!
The stone itself is a lovely glossy black, with a few subtle patterns/variations throughout. It appears much more of a solid shiny black in person, but depends on how bright the ambient lighting is, and what other colors may be around it for the shiny polish to reflect.
The best quality obsidian often forms beneath the Earth's surface, around volcanic vents. Silica-rich magma squeezes into rock fractures or fissures to form layers and lenses of Obsidian that are relatively free of dirt, ash and other impurities that are commonly found around volcanoes. Sometimes, little air bubbles or faint ash deposits are left behind when the Obsidian cools, leaving small organic spots behind if they are close to the surface as the stone is polished. They can resemble pinpricks, fine lines, scuffs, or notches and you may be able to feel them subtly as you run a finger over them.
ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. I inspect each piece carefully and pick all my stones by energy FIRST! Much nicer 'in person' than the photos can show. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs 10lbs 6.5oz and measures about 8 3/8" inches long by about 5 1/2" inches wide across the widest point by about 6 1/2" inches tall. Code-111324-22172
Black Obsidian is a protective stone; excellent for removing negativity in one's energy and the surrounding environment.

Black Obsidian is related to the root 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

People have asked me about how I clear my stones. You can read my BLOG entries on this site about working with crystals and skulls for details. Every one of the skulls and stones that I list has been with Synergy and is fully charged with the energy - after all - that's the whole point of me offering them to the public!
