Stunning hand-carved pink & purple quartz skull with natural crystal. Has a hint of red colouring in the face and the top of the skull.
(Some people call this material “pink amethyst” but the reason amethyst is “amethyst” is because its purple. In ancient Greek texts, “amethystos” referred to a specific type of grape vine that yielded non-intoxicating wine; in Latin the word became “amethystus” and also referred to purple quartz.)
The back of the skull has a druzy quartz vug.
Measures 4” long and just over 3” high (11cm x 8cm). Weighs 850 grams!
