Malachite and Chrysocolla Botryoidal Skull Carving

Skulls are one of the oldest ancient symbols in human history. They serve an integral role in depicting the cycles of creation and appear frequently through mysticism, religion and spirituality. The symbolism of a skull has many interpretations across the globe but it is typically seen as a symbol of death and rebirth, the cosmic cycle, morality and rebellion.

Sourced from South Africa, this spectacular specimen is carved from a naturally occurring inter-growth of Malachite and Chrysocolla. The botryoidal formation lends itself to the beautiful display of patterns across the carved face as well as the visually unique raw surface within.
