9" Carved Moss Agate Crystal Skull - India
This is an incredible crystal skull carved from moss agate collected in India. It measures 9" from front to back - larger than life! The dendritic formations in the agate are exceptionally beautiful with excellent definition, and there is a nice crystal pocket encompassing part of the upper cranium. An impressive centerpiece for sure!
About Agate
Agate is a variety of microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony) that displays translucence and, in some cases, banding. Agate primarily forms when silica-rich fluids fill pockets within rocks and/or fossils, depositing the silica along the walls of the rock. This process can result in banding patterns, as the compositions and impurities of these depositing fluids change over time. These banding patterns can either form as flat layers, creating linear patterns known as waterline agate, or as rounded layers, forming more common ring-like patterns. These patterns depend on the surfaces available for deposition.
