Amethyst skull 5 cm

✦ Amethyst skull 5 cm ✦

A skull in amethyst, to keep time in sight. 💀

A purple quartz whose shade runs from pale mauve to deep violet, often stronger at the tip of the crystal than at its base. A piece carved from the solid block and then hand-polished; the motif follows the natural veins of the stone, so no two examples fall the same way on the design.

📜 The vanitas skull recalls how brief time is; in Mesoamerican traditions it is also a figure of memory rather than of death.

🌿 Crystal-healing lore: amethyst is linked to the third-eye chakra and, in some traditions, the crown chakra; it is often reached for before meditation or quiet reflection, credited with a settling effect.

Who is it for, and when? For a desk or a shelf, or as a gift for someone who loves gothic style.

✨ Keep it in sight. Let it remind you what matters.

How to use it. It needs no setting beyond a desk, a shelf or a cabinet. Dust with a dry cloth only — water attacks the more fragile veining.

• Its color comes from traces of iron in the quartz, revealed by the natural radioactivity of the surrounding rock.

A decorative object for personal practice. It is no substitute for medical advice or treatment.
