OK - here are my crystal skulls.
I added a few non crystal ones for interest and amusement:

- The postcard is of the Quartz Crystal Skull in the British Museum (25cm, 1898).
- The colurful guy is made out of beads (about 14cm long) by a Peyote Indian named Hilario Ruja - I bought this at the British Museum seeing as I'm unlikely to ever visit Mexico and buy one in person. Beautiful isn't it? I call him Hilario (haha) and raise a metaphysical glass to the real Hilario everytime I think of the name.
- The large white is actually a plastic rattle which glows in the dark! LOL
- recent acquisition that gives me no end of amusement.
- The small white is a plastic bead. Pretty good one.
The Crystals are:
- Black obsidian - I think his name's Bob (although this could be problematic if I tell my hubby this. His dead father's name was Bob - short for Robert, and it's his first name too though I don't call him by it).
Bob lives on my Earth Altar - with all my other black crystals of note.
(Suddenly just realised - that name comes from the character from a favourite novel series. Bob - is the assistant elemental spirit for the Wizard Dresden and he lives inside his own skull on the mantlepiece. This Bob, reminds me of him - that's why).
- Rainbow Fluorite - beautiful detail on this one and she's about golf ball sized.
One day when I was REALLY tired - I bumped her and chipped her chin! I still kick myself for that. She was carved in Glastonbury (England - "Isle of Avalon") and sold from the crystal shop called "StoneAge".
- Blue is Lapiz Lazuli - she has rather sharp cheek bones and prominent brows - looking severe, and I feel she's a "kick up the ass" crystal skull. Perhaps her name should be Kick-Ass or Hit-Girl...
- The tiny pink and green is Ocean agate (I think) - I forgot about him - he lives inside the Tarot bag with my Samhain Deck of the Bastard (2nd Edition, Seven Stars).
