There is a little area in Germany called Idar-Oberstein, renowned for crystal carvings since the 16th century.

China has a way of invading any thriving market - this has become true with contemporary crystal skulls. Unfortunately, most of them are machine made in factories and seem to lack the quality and accuracy of their Brazilian counterparts. Also, it is important to note that crystals naturally absorb energy, so the energy of a crystal skull's carver is an important consideration, as well as the environment in which the carving and subsequent transactions take place.
