{"product_id":"4-5-fluorite-crystal-skull","title":"4.5\" Fluorite Crystal Skull","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery skull begins as a single piece of rainbow fluorite, and no two stones ever band alike. The deep purple, the blue and the green fall in different layers from piece to piece — \u003cstrong\u003enature's fingerprints, not flaws\u003c\/strong\u003e. What variation exists is \u003cstrong\u003ein the depth and direction of each stone's own banding\u003c\/strong\u003e, laid down deep in the earth over ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach skull is \u003cstrong\u003ecarved entirely by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e from a single piece of fluorite, then polished to a glass-like glow. The rounded cranium, the deep eye sockets, the nasal cavity, the cheekbones and the row of teeth are all cut with the same patient hand — nothing moulded, nothing cast. This piece measures about \u003cstrong\u003e4.5 × 3.3 × 2.9 inches and weighs 950–1000 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, a substantial presence on a desk or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFluorite takes its name from the Latin \u003cem\u003efluere\u003c\/em\u003e, \"to flow\", for the way it helped molten metal flow in early smelting — and it is the very mineral that gave its name to \"fluorescence\". Found in nearly every color, it is today \u003cstrong\u003eassociated with focus, clarity and an ordered mind\u003c\/strong\u003e. For spiritual reference only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echo Crystal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48175400910999,"sku":null,"price":166.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/5359\/5031\/files\/45_cbbef3b0-12f8-49c2-be43-39e57d00860e.jpg?v=1788142971","url":"https:\/\/www.echo-crystal.com\/products\/4-5-fluorite-crystal-skull","provider":"Echo Crystal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
