They should have used that in Indiana Jones movie. Better looking than that lopsided egg of a skull they try to pass as an alien brain can.
We need an updated family portrait now when you have the chance.
Sodalite is such a beautiful stone, always loved it. Lapis lazuli gets more press, but I think sodalite holds its own just fine.
Second one in the back row looks like malachite, yes?

From the seller's information, from left to right :
Front Row - petrified wood and amethyst
Back Row - Picasso jasper, strawberry quartz, opal, and smoky quartz.
The octopus skull is fluorite.
I've been fascinated by skulls from birth it would seem even have acquired a few skull pipes over the years. The Mitchell Hedges skull caught my attention in the late 70s and crystal skulls have been a fascination ever since. Just found out about the company that I've been getting the crystal ones from back in 2019 or I'd have a lot more of them.
How is the stone worked? Hammer and chisel, power rotary tool? They look anatomically exact and finished to the nth degree.
That's exactly why he likes em!
I've said this before, but what a cool hobby!!! Wish I would've thought of it
