Product Description

Introduction

Hand-carved from natural Picasso Jasper, this 5.2 kg skull delivers commanding presence and painterly patterning. Its flowing black veining over a smoky-grey matrix creates a striking, modern aesthetic that reads beautifully under light.

Geological Details

Often described as a metamorphosed limestone/jasper, Picasso Jasper is valued for graphic networks of black and grey veining with occasional red-brown streaks. The stone’s density and toughness make it excellent for high-sheen polish, while large, pattern-consistent blocks suitable for sculpture are limited.

Aesthetic Appeal

A high gloss reveals intricate, abstract linework that wraps the brow, cheekbones, and jaw, accentuating the skull’s form. The natural red accents provide warmth and contrast against the cool grey field for a distinctly contemporary look.

Metaphysical Properties

Associated with grounding, creativity, and transformation, Picasso Jasper is said to focus intention and ignite inspiration. In skull form—symbolic of wisdom and change—the stone becomes a potent anchor for creative spaces and meditation areas.

Rarity

Museum-scale Picasso Jasper skulls are uncommon. Pieces surpassing 5 kg with cohesive, dramatic veining and a strong polish remain scarce and are sought by collectors of decorative mineral art.

Why You Will Love This

A true statement piece that blends natural geology with sculptural design. Its bold patterning, weighty presence, and refined polish make it an instant focal point in any collection or interior.
