I normally take my own rough rock to our carvers in China every year. However, Covid has prevented my doing this since 2019. This year 2024 we took lots of saved up special stones to be carved. I gave the carvers instructions to make the skulls as large as possible, from the material I gave them. This meant, that instead of making the skulls smaller and perfect, they were larger and had some hollows and deformations on them. If these had been cut away, then the skulls would have been smaller. Please check out the pictures carefully, they are not standard mass produced items.This particular skull is made from black moonstone, one of five only I'm listing today. The skull measures 40 mm from front to back by 28 mm high and 20 mm width. This is the exact one you will receive. We have been dealing in crystals, specimens and carvings for over 20 years at our retail shop and warehouse, where all eBay items can be viewed before buying. (with a cuppa of course)
