REAL CRYSTAL SKULLS

Are Crystal Skulls for Real?

Are there really "real crystal skulls"? The answer is absolutely, positively, undeniably YES. The real question is "What is a real crystal skull?".

The definition of a "real crystal skull" is a human skull shape that is typically carved out of rock crystal (also known as quartz crystal). Real crystal skulls can be handcarved or machine made, and can come in all sizes, from the size of a grape to a life-size crystal skull, or even larger than a human skull.

Real crystal skulls can also be made out of different kinds of crystals or minerals. However, throughout history, quartz is the most popular stone used to carve real crystal skulls. Perhaps this is because quartz crystal has inherent piezoelectric properties, making it ideal to store and transfer energy/information. This is why quartz is the "vibrating heart" of most telecommunication equipment, including modern computers.

So what is the difference between a "real crystal skull" and a "fake crystal skull"? If a crystal skull is made out of glass or lead crystal, it is considered fake - even though one could legally use the term "crystal skull" the same way that crystal drinking glasses are referred to as "real crystal".

Another type of "fake crystal skull" is one that is made of reconstituted quartz crystal, which is a process that involves first crushing natural quartz into fine pieces, then melting it down into molten quartz glass. It is then poured into any desired shape molds and then finished using some traditional crystal skull polishing methods. These reconstituted crystal skulls are usually very clear and highly polished (and usually less expensive than "real" crystal skulls).

The irony is that most people think that the best crystal skull is the one that is the most clear, when in fact these are the main characteristics of glass or reconstituted crystal skull. Purists do not consider reconstituted quartz to be real quartz. A real quartz crystal skull will usually have veils or inclusions, and may have some irising/rainbows.

You need to look inside the crystal skull to see the natural formations that are elemental to a real quartz. Having said this, there are real quartz crystal skulls that are completely clear - the larger and more clear they are, the more expensive they tend to be because they are more rare. A trained mineralogist should have no problem identifying a real crystal skull over a fake crystal skull.

Sometimes you may hear the term "fake crystal skull" in reference to a misclassification of age, as with the Smithsonian Crystal Skull that was originally thought to have been ancient or old, but tests revealed it to be a contemporary crystal skull, causing the present Smithsonian curator to call it a "fake" even though it is made of real quartz crystal - See how crystal skulls are classifiied / categorized.

What is real is that many ancient cultures all over the world have aural history and legends regarding crystal skulls and their power to affect humanity. On a metaphysical level, crystal skulls hold a very high energy vibration and are connected to each other energetically. It is possible to connect with the consciousness of these crystal skulls through a fake crystal skull, but it is infinitely more powerful and beneficial to connect with the crystal skull matrix with a real crystal skull of any size or age, especially an activated crystal skull.
