Size of the skull approx. 9.5 x 5.0 x 4.5 cm
Selenite was already known to the Romans and was used instead of glass as a window pane, as Glass could not yet be made flat and transparent at that time. In the encyclopaedia "Naturalis historia", Pliny the Elder (23 - 79) described the mining and use of selenite. The Romans called the mineral "lapis specularis", i.e. "mirror stone". The name selenite is derived from the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene.
Crystal skulls have long been regarded as the guardians of knowledge in many cultures, as the skull is the only form that people of all religions, times and nations have and have had respect for. Skulls are particularly popular as meditation objects, as their resemblance to the human head allows images and impressions to be focused particularly well.
The animal engravings are varnished to protect them from dust and scratches.
