Description from the seller
Monumental Chrysocolla sculpture from Peru – 13 kg Skull
An exceptional piece for the discerning collector
Discover a monumental sculpture in natural chrysocolla from Peru, shaped into a skull and weighing an impressive 13 kilograms. A spectacular piece by its dimensions, presence, and the intensity of its blue‑turquoise to blue‑green hues.
Hailing from the prestigious mining region of the Andes Cordillera in Peru, this chrysocolla displays a particularly expressive color palette, punctuated by natural nuances and mineral inclusions that render its surface totally unique.
With its 13 kg, this sculpture belongs to a particularly rare category of chrysocolla pieces carved in this way. Its size gives it a monumental presence, making it far more than a simple decorative object: it is a genuine collectible intended for enthusiasts of exceptional minerals and lapidary art.
A chrysocolla with spectacular colors
Chrysocolla is especially valued for its beautiful tones ranging from turquoise blue to deep green, occasionally streaked with darker nuances or natural traces from the mineral’s formation.
On this sculpture, these natural variations create a wholly exclusive pattern. No part of the stone exactly reproduces another, making every face of the skull a different mineral composition.
The carving and polishing work thus highlight the full visual richness of the material.
A monumental and rare piece
Thirteen kilograms of chrysocolla for a sculpture of this nature is a particularly remarkable feature.
Its size, weight, material, and carving work make it a piece especially suited for:
- private collections of rare minerals;
- connoisseurs of high-end lapidary art;
- enthusiasts of chrysocolla and Peruvian minerals;
- contemporary interiors and prestigious decorations;
- hotels, offices, and professional spaces seeking a spectacular mineral piece.
Its monumental size allows it to immediately become the focal point of a collection or a high-end interior.
A unique piece
Each sculpture crafted in natural stone has its own characteristics: colors, veining, inclusions, and nuances cannot be reproduced.
This 13 kg chrysocolla sculpture is thus a singular piece, whose combination of natural material, exceptional volume, and skull-shaped carving gives it a particularly sought-after character.
