Amber Calcite meteorite sculpture, a 449 g carved amber calcite skull art object from the Chihuahua–Durango region, Mexico, measuring 8.70 × 6.80 × 5.70 cm.
Description from the seller
Masterfully carved Death's-head skull – Amber Calcite (Honey Calcite) with a waxy sheen – 449 g
Wonderful orange Amber Calcite weighing 449 grams and measuring 8.70 x 6.80 x 5.70 cm
An extraordinary, extremely detailed skull sculpture made of high-quality, translucent Amber Calcite. The piece stands out for its typical honey- to beeswax-like silky luster and the warm, amber coloration.
In the hand it feels like solid wax.
Origin: Chihuahua / Durango region, Mexico (famed for the world’s purest calcite formations)
Mineral: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Specifications:
Weight: 449 grams
Dimensions: 8.70 x 6.80 x 5.70 cm
Spectacular mineralogical highlights:
Optical birefringence: Calcite is world-renowned in physics and mineralogy for its extremely strong birefringence. An incoming light ray is split into two rays upon entering the crystal lattice. This gives the polished skull a deep, almost three-dimensional self-luminosity when illuminated!
Thermodynamic formation: Formed millions of years ago in deep hydrothermal limestone cave systems in northern Mexico.
The stone of light & clarity: In crystal healing, Amber Calcite is regarded as one of the strongest cleansers for the Solar Plexus Chakra. It cleanses and clears the body's energy system.
The orange Amber Calcite radiates a warm amber glow and supports clear, unbiased thinking
An absolute highlight for any discerning mineral and sculpture collection.
