5.9" Realistic, Polished Sodalite Skull

This is a 5.9" long specimen of sodalite that was collected from Minas Gerais in Brazil. It has been meticulously polished and sculpted into a skull. The detailing is quite intricate and symmetrical. The underside of the skull and the nostrils have been hollowed-out, making the specimen closer in resemblance to a real skull.

Sodalite is a blue mineral usually found in massive form veined with white streaks or markings. Lapis Lazuli can appear similar to sodalite given its intensely blue color, though lapis lazuli is usually associated with sparkling pyrite, which sodalite lacks.
