Rare Cinnabarite (Cinnabite) Crystal Skull, "Dragon's Blood" Red, Hand-Carved (482g)

A rare union of ancient symbolism and geological rarity. This 482g Cinnabarite crystal skull is a limited-edition masterpiece that stands out in any collection. We curated this piece for its exceptional contrast: the intense, vivid 'Dragon's Blood' red of the Cinnabar inclusions creates a striking visual rhythm against the pale, icy matrix. The carving itself is meticulous, capturing the anatomical proportions of the skull with a high-polish finish that enhances the natural depth of the stone. Cinnabar has been prized for millennia for its pigment and power, and finding a specimen of this size and quality, expertly rendered into such an iconic form, is a true collector's triumph.
