2.5”H x 2”W x 3.25”D

A Memento Mori carved quartz skull like no other. The most fabulous rainbow inclusions are seen through out. Deep eyes on this beautiful piece. This quartz skull has the most fabulous rainbow inclusions. Rainbows in crystals represent hope and optimism. Metaphysically, the Rainbow represents how external pressures, physical or emotional, create an area for a Rainbow to appear. Great addition to any collection.

Beginning in the late 19th century, around a dozen carved skulls made of clear or milky white quartz—also known as rock crystal—made their way into private and public collections around the globe. Since then, the origins of these “crystal skulls” have been the subject of ongoing mystery and controversy. According to the people who claimed to have discovered the skulls, they date back thousands or even tens of thousands of years, to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Aztec, Toltec, Mixtec or Maya. Many of those who believe in the crystal skulls’ ancient provenance attribute supernatural powers to the objects, including healing properties and the power to expand a person’s psychic abilities in their presence. Some have linked the skulls to the lost city of Atlantis, or claimed them as proof that extraterrestrials visited pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Aztecs.
