Shipping and applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.
A skull cut from a single block of rainbow fluorite, 3 inches.
Fluorite is calcium fluoride, soft at 4 on the Mohs scale and possessed of perfect cleavage in four directions — carving it is a matter of working with those planes rather than against them. The colour banding in purple, green and clear records successive stages of growth.
The skull is the hardest test of a carver's eye, because everyone already knows what it should look like. The passages that take the longest are the ones you notice least: the transition from temple to cheekbone, and the way the teeth meet.
