6.9" Realistic, Polished "Yellow Turquoise" Jasper Skull

Realistic, Polished Yellow Turquoise Jasper Skull #116467

This is a 6.9" long, polished yellow turquoise jasper skull from Brazil. This specimen exhibits a vibrant yellow-green color and has undergone intricate sculpting and polishing that left the crystal in the shape of a skull. The underside of the skull and the nostrils have been hollowed-out, making the specimen closer in resemblance to a real skull.

"Yellow turquoise" is a trade name for this unique type of jasper, which ranges in color from yellow to lime, with natural inclusions of dark gray magnetite. This trade name is rather deceptive, since the stone is not only not turquoise (the mineral) but is also not turquoise (the color). Nevertheless, it is a very interesting and attractive stone, particularly when polished.
