AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary Amazonite skull appears as if it has rested for centuries in the depths of the seas – a relic that sailors of earlier times attributed to the 'flow guardians.' Parts of its structure resemble algae, corals, and overgrown reefs: sky-blue crystal veins flow like calm lagoons across the surface, while the earthy and dark matrix zones evoke rocks marked by the salt of the sea.

The colors of this piece are remarkably harmonious.
Gentle ocean blue, milky white, earthy brown, and sporadically shimmering structures reminiscent of faded wreck wood. Nothing appears loud – everything is calm, deep, and organically grown. It is this combination that gives Amazonite its special presence: friendly, inviting, and at the same time mystical.

Mythology & Symbolism

In old sailor stories, Amazonite was known as the 'stone of the still waters.' It was believed to preserve calmness when the sea roared and to help maintain course when fog or currents obscured navigation.
The overgrown, algae-like structures of this skull connect precisely there—as if nature itself had shaped a memento of past journeys.

Features of this piece

Impressive natural structure: raw Amazonite formations that resemble seaweed and reef structures.

Powerful color composition: an exceptionally harmonious spectrum of ocean blue, white, and warm earth tones.

Carefully crafted facial features: the skull itself is precisely detailed and beautifully contrasts with the wild, natural-looking parts.

Collector weight: 1.05 kg – solid, prominent, and perfect for display cases or altar decorations.

A piece that carries not only mineralogy but also mythology.
A skull that appears to be directly recovered from a forgotten underwater world.
