Crystal Tip:
These twin skulls come together to form a “forget me not” for that person in your life who’s a little goth but maybe still likes pink.
Flower agate is an Agate style with opaque inclusions of Chalcedony that resembles tiny floral formations. This mineral is a recent finding from Madagascar and has only been seen crystallized in mass form. This is usually found with white “bean” inclusions in a light pink hue.
Researchers have written dozens of books and hundreds of articles about crystal skulls, few have attempted to explain the origin and purpose of these sculptures. For some, the crystal skulls are 19th-century “hoaxes”; for others, they are extraterrestrial artefacts, while yet others believe they are remnants of a lost civilisation.
Perhaps the most likely explanation is that they are part and parcel of the ancient cultures, particularly the Mayan, that existed in the area of Central America where they were found. Could it be that these skulls were one of the most important relics in the sacred temple complexes? Crystal skulls speak to the imagination, but are some of these skulls and their stories too good to be true?
