AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The photographs have been taken with overhead lighting.
"The reality of this carving surpasses the images".
The colors in the images depend on your monitor’s settings.
The dimensions are approximate.
It is shipped securely, with tracking.
The amethyst is valued by many cultures for its mysticism. It is considered a stone of peace, and it is believed that its calming effect induces tranquil dreams and connects the dreamer with the Divine. This clarity and serenity also benefit the waking mind, aiding the flow of thoughts in mental and metaphysical realms. Spiritualists often carry it with their oracle instruments, such as Tarot cards.
Amethyst is the zodiac stone of Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, and it is the February birthstone in both traditional and modern lists.
Legend has it that Saint Valentine wore an amethyst ring bearing the image of Cupid, which may seem contradictory given the gem’s reputation for calming passions. However, in medieval times, chaste love was valued as much as true love, and amethyst represented this vision of love.
In the last image, the proportion between the 8", 5" and 3" skulls is shown.
