Citrine & Lepidolite Skull Carving, Brazil (1.4kg)
A dialogue between precision hand-carving and raw, untamed mineral growth.
This exceptional carving is masterfully rendered from a single block of natural Brazilian Citrine, transitioning from a translucent, honey-hued crown to a clear, crystalline base. In a rare display of geological contrast, a dense outcropping of violet Lepidolite mica remains attached to the posterior, creating a textured "mohawk" of shimmering, lilac-toned scales.
The anatomical carving is refined yet soft, prioritizing the flow of light through the citrine’s internal veils and phantoms. This is not a mass-produced carving; it is a considered design object that balances the macabre with the ethereal, making it a definitive centerpoint for an avant-garde collection.
STONE & ORIGIN
Sourced from Brazil, this piece features genuine, non-heat-treated Citrine. The characteristic smoky-gold hue is the result of natural irradiation over millennia. The attached Lepidolite is a lithium-rich phyllosilicate mineral, identifiable by its pearlescent luster and distinct lavender-to-violet saturation.
DESIGN DETAILS
The skull is hand-polished to a high-gloss finish, while the Lepidolite inclusion is left in its natural, crystalline state to provide a sensory, tactile contrast.
Weight: 1.4 kg (Approx. 3.1 lbs)
Origin: Brazil
Dimensions: Approximately 5.5" L x 4.2" H
DISPLAY NOTES
To maximize the visual impact of the internal inclusions, display this piece with back-lighting or on a glass shelf. The juxtaposition of the polished Citrine and the matte, flaky Lepidolite is best highlighted when viewed in profile. This piece pairs exceptionally well with heavy metals, dark velvets, or raw concrete surfaces.
CARE & CONDITION
Lepidolite is a soft mineral (Mohs 2.5–3) and can be prone to "flaking" if handled roughly; it should be kept as a stationary display piece. Dust the Citrine with a soft cloth and use a dry, soft-bristled brush to clean the Lepidolite crown. Avoid water or chemical cleaners.
