This is a gorgeous blue APATITE crystal skull! Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. It has a couple shades of blue present, mixed with blue-grey, grey, and traces of reddish brown Iron deposits. There is a subtle shimmery quality in many places that shows up in bright light as you move the stone around in your hands, along with a few shallow VUGS mixed in here and there. Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible.
It has some small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. They can resemble pinpricks, notches/indents, or tiny fine lines on the surface of the stone. ALL inclusions are 100% natural parts of the stone. Much nicer than the photos can show! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 3.3oz and measures about 50mm (2" inches) long X 34mm tall (1 3/8" inches). Code-120524-22180
