At 6.1 inches and 1918 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChalcedony is quartz grown too finely to show any grain, so it takes a waxy lustre rather than a glassy one and light travels a few millimetres into the surface before it stops. The pale blue reads deeper wherever the stone is thickest and washes out over thin edges, which is why the form changes as you turn it against a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem ID\u003c\/strong\u003e 5100039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% natural blue chalcedony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.1 × 4.9 × 3.7 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e 1918 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection aria-label=\"Product video\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cvideo controls playsinline preload=\"none\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-height:640px\" poster=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/9730\/4318\/files\/nicedony-amazing-6-1-blue-chalcedony-hand-carved-crystal-skull-sculpture-5100039-8.jpg?v=1784880774\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/vp\/2232e9f60be749779c296de26edda38a\/2232e9f60be749779c296de26edda38a.HD-720p-4.5Mbps-30903321.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003eYour browser does not support this video.\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Kindredvein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44373543780486,"sku":"5100039","price":483.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/3858\/2662\/files\/nicedony-amazing-6-1-blue-chalcedony-hand-carved-crystal-skull-sculpture-5100039-8.jpg?v=1789321913","url":"https:\/\/kindredvein.com\/products\/amazing-6-1-blue-chalcedony-hand-carved-crystal-skull-sculpture-5100039","provider":"Kindredvein","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
