This is a truly one of a kind RED SILVER LEAF JASPER crystal skull with RUTILATIONS / RUTILES in the back of the head. The only one I've ever seen. It has been here charging with Synergy for 8+ years. I love this stone! It has intricate patterns all throughout, including large Agate inclusions ALL throughout. They have a high Quartz content. As you look carefully in the back of the head you will find bright golden RUTILES! A particularly nice star/blossom in the base of the skull, and smaller clusters here and there up the back of the head. There are some small tiny sparkly PYRITE polka dots in the back of the head, right side, that catch the light as you move the stone around.
There may be a few tiny organic spots present from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. They can resemble pinpricks, tiny notches, or thin lines/linear indents. ALL inclusions present are 100% natural parts of the stone. Check out the metaphysical properties below!
It weighs approximately 3.1oz and measures about 49mm/just under 2" inches long X 33mm/1 1/4" inches tall. Code-080624-21997
