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?

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
