What is a crystal skull and what types of crystal skulls exist?
A Crystal Skull as the term suggests is nothing more and nothing less then a piece of quartz crystal that is taken from the ground and then shaped by a talented artesian into a human shaped skull (can vary from all sizes — from the size of a small marble to one that is several times the size of a human bone skull). Sometimes “crystal skulls” are referring to skulls carved from other gemstones but the true definition is one that is made from quartz crystal. There are three types of crystal skulls normally referred to, this set of definitions was developed by the Society of Crystal Skulls International. A) New or Contemporary Crystal Skulls — crystal skulls being made by modern carvers today who are using diamond-tip tools (saws and wheels) to shape the skulls, thousands of such skulls are being carved today B) Old Crystal Skulls — crystal skulls made over 100 years ago to about 1000-1500 years ago — using various type of tools used by past cultures and civilizations to form a skull
