A UNIQUE CONVERSATION piece, this skull was hand carved in Pakistan of ocean jasper, so named because of its striking wave patterns. “There’s a large part of the crystal community who collect skulls specifically, some for the spiritual connection and others just for the beauty of the materials and the workmanship,” shares Tracey Andrews, owner of Earth Wear Rock Shop. The store specializes in gems, minerals, and handcrafted jewelry. Some believe that each type of gemstone has a different metaphysical property, Andrews says. “Ocean jasper is a stone of joy and renewal.”

$98 skulls made of other materials available.
