Hand-Carved Agate Skull with Amethyst Geode Inclusion

Story

Millions of years ago, volcanic gas bubbles trapped in cooling lava became the birthplace for this stone as mineral-rich water slowly deposited layers of silica to form the agate walls.

Maker / Origin

While likely produced in a specialized lapidary workshop in Brazil—the world's epicenter for high-quality agate—the maker belongs to a tradition of master carvers who specialize in 'organic' geometry.

Condition & Value

The piece appears to be in excellent condition with a high-luster polish and no visible 'bruising' or impact marks. The crystal pocket is clean and the points appear sharp; any dust accumulation in the crevices can be safely removed with a soft brush or compressed air.
