Product Description
This exceptional Purple Silk Fluorite Skull weighs in at just over one kilogram and displays a striking interplay of violet, grey, and smoky-brown tones. The signature “silk” effect in this variety of fluorite comes from natural fibrous zoning and subtle banding, giving the surface a luminous, satin-like quality under light.
Geological Significance
Fluorite is prized among collectors for its wide range of colors, crystal habits, and optical effects. The “silk” variety is far less common than typical cubic fluorite, valued for its unusual internal texture that scatters light softly rather than producing clear transparency. This skull showcases both the banded layers and silky inclusions, making it a superb example for collectors who seek beyond the ordinary.
Metaphysical Properties
In metaphysical practice, Fluorite is known as a stone of clarity, structure, and spiritual grounding. Purple fluorite, in particular, is connected to the Third Eye chakra, encouraging intuition, focus, and higher awareness. The silky zoning is believed to enhance the stone’s calming, stabilizing energy, helping to quiet chaotic thoughts and align the mind with deeper wisdom. A carved skull form amplifies these qualities by acting as a vessel of ancestral knowledge and psychic connection.
Display & Collectability
Measuring 3.5 × 3 × 4.5 inches, this skull has a commanding yet manageable presence. The polish reveals intricate banding across its surface, while natural variations and subtle translucence ensure it remains one-of-a-kind. Suitable for collectors, crystal healers, or those who appreciate unique mineral art carvings, this fluorite skull is both a geological specimen and a spiritual tool.
