Crystals - Gold Sheen Obsidian Skull

Step into the realm of legend and mystery with our hand-carved crystal skulls, each one a captivating fusion of natural stone energy and ancient symbolism. These powerful pieces are more than just striking décor — they’re portals to deeper understanding, intuition, and transformation.

Crystal skulls have fascinated mystics, historians, and collectors for centuries. Rooted in Mesoamerican mythology, these enigmatic carvings are famously linked to the Aztecs and other ancient civilisations. One of the most well-known legends is that of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, allegedly discovered in the 1920s in a ruined temple in Belize. Said to possess mystical powers, this artefact sparked global intrigue — with tales of its ability to store ancient knowledge, enhance psychic abilities, and even unlock the secrets of the universe.

Each skull in our collection is carefully carved from genuine crystal — think clear quartz, amethyst, obsidian, fluorite, and more — with unique patterns and energetic frequencies. Whether you’re a collector of metaphysical tools, a lover of gothic décor, or simply drawn to the edgy elegance of skull-shaped pieces, this is the ultimate statement item for your sacred space, altar, or curio shelf.

Skull-shaped crystals are perfect for those who walk the line between the mystical and the macabre — spiritual seekers, crystal witches, fans of occult aesthetics, and anyone with a love for symbolic, high-vibe décor. They’re not just visually stunning — they’re talismans of rebirth, wisdom, and protection.

About Gold Sheen Obsidian

Gold Sheen Obsidian is a captivating variety of volcanic glass characterised by its deep black base with shimmering, reflective golden or bronze-like layers that seem to glow from within. These luminous sheens result from microscopic inclusions of gas bubbles or mineral platelets trapped during the rapid cooling of molten lava, creating a beautiful metallic luster that dances with the light.

Composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), Gold Sheen Obsidian shares the same amorphous structure as other obsidian types but is distinguished by its radiant golden flashes. With a Mohs hardness of 5–5.5, it is softer than quartz but suitable for carvings, jewellery, and decorative pieces.

Significant deposits are found in volcanic regions such as Mexico, United States (Oregon, California), and Indonesia, where the conditions for these unique sheens to form are ideal.
