Crystal Tip:

Pink amethyst is a relatively new find from Argentina. It was fist discovered in an amethyst producing mine and it has created much speculation in the mineral community since coming to light. Many would refuse to call it amethyst, and some even think it’s “fake” but it’s very real and is here to stay! Pink amethyst gets its coloring from high concentrations of hematite in it’s crystalline structure; because it is living in an amethyst mine it retains the name “pink amethyst”.

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?
