This skull is hand-carved from natural labradorite, available in a 2-inch size or a larger 300-350g size.

Meaning & history
Carved crystal skulls have a long-standing tradition as meditation focal points and collector pieces, popularized as collector items in the 19th and 20th centuries. Labradorite itself is traditionally associated with intuition, protection, and transformation in crystal lore — many collectors are drawn to it for its dramatic, ever-shifting flash of color. See more in our skulls collection, or the Amethyst Skull for a companion piece with a different color story. Because each skull is hand-carved and individually selected, the play of color and the intensity of the flash vary from piece to piece.
How to use it
Set the skull on an altar, shelf, or meditation table where its flash can catch the light. Many people use it as a quiet visual focal point during meditation, or simply keep it as a striking collector's piece within a wider mineral display.
Care & cleansing
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure. Handle it carefully, as with any carved stone piece, and store it away from harder materials that could scratch its polished surface.
