Crystal skulls can be automated and guided by desired intention for supporting the healing of oneself and others. They are also known to enhance psychic powers. Meditating with it grants advanced insight and knowledge.

StoneBridge Imports’ crystal skulls are hand-carved and partially polished, leaving the stones “in natura”. These are masterpieces of a Brazilian carver who specializes in skull carving.

His job is to search for an almost “skull-like,” high-quality crystal (usually the “Elestial,” “Skeleton,” or “Alligator” Quartz), then he touches it up to create amazing pieces.

How do crystal skulls work?

Crystal skulls are commonly made of Quartz, an indispensable mineral in manufacturing electronic devices and storing data due to its piezoelectric properties (or their ability to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress).

Some people believe that the same piezoelectric properties enable crystal skulls to store a wealth of ancient knowledge, as well as messages from aliens or lost civilizations. This is why they are referred to as ‘cosmic libraries.’

Many people vouch for the ability of gemstones to manifest intentions and raise vibrations. And shaping these stones into skulls is a way to amplify their existing powers. Skulls made from various precious stones are said to speed up the healing process for distress affecting the mind and heart.

According to crystal healer Adrienne Goff, a connection with a crystal skull becomes possible when your own cranium (the part that encloses the brain) comes into harmonic resonance with it. This harmony stimulates the transfer of energy and information into your consciousness. (Read more: Crystal Skulls: How They Work, Their Storied Origins )
