Sodalite Crystal Skull

A sodalite crystal skull, elaborately hand-carved, from Brazil. Polished all around and authentically crafted. Beautiful dark blue color with white quartz veins and black tourmaline inclusions.

Sodalite is a tectosilicate with the formula Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂. The strong blue coloration originates from the sodium-aluminum-silicate component and has been known since antiquity. Sodalite typically comes from pegmatite deposits.

The sculpture follows the tradition of esoteric crystal skulls as contemplative objects. Brazilian workshops process sodalite from deposits in Bahia and Minas Gerais into such figures.

Three characteristics: strong dark blue color, visible quartz veins and tourmaline inclusions, contemplative skull shape.
