A realistic skull cut from a single block of howlite, 3 inches.
Howlite is a soft borate mineral — around 3.5 on the Mohs scale — which is why it can hold the fine detail you see here and also why it wants gentler handling than quartz. The grey webbing is natural veining that formed as the nodule grew.
Carving a skull leaves nowhere to hide — the proportions are familiar enough that any error reads immediately. Most of the working time goes into the orbits and the line of the jaw.
