{"product_id":"purple-fluorite-skull-sculpture","title":"Purple Fluorite Skull — Carved Crystal Skull for Focus \u0026 Clarity","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tod-product\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA crystal skull is not subtle, and it is not supposed to be. This one is carved from purple fluorite — banded violet running into clear, the colour shifting depending on which way you turn it — and it measures 2.75 by 2 by 2 inches, sitting at 200 to 225 grams. Small enough for a desk. Emphatic enough to change what the desk is about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite carves beautifully because it is a soft, layered stone, which is why the banding follows the shape of the face instead of fighting it. It comes from Brazil and every piece is cut from a different section of rough, so the placement of the violet is never the same twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved purple fluorite skull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.75\" x 2\" x 2\" — desk and altar scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200–225 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural violet-to-clear banding, unique to each carving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStands unaided on a flat surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA skull is a memento mori before it is anything else — an object that reminds you time is finite.
