Crazy Lace Agate Dragon
Posted by Philippe Ullens on
I love Crazy Lace Agate, - because it is so beautiful- because it is so subtle at the same time- because of its two polarities, yin vs yang, white vs bright red- because it illustrates very effectively how compliant it is in the head of any being, dragon, human, star being, and nevertheless so beautiful and fascinating.I love to have a skull in each pocket; dragons are difficult because they are too big, because their spikes break so easily.

Awakening to the Crystal Skulls ~ Sue Coulson
Posted by Avebury Skulls on

In spring 2010 I had my first encounter with the Crystal Skulls. A mutual friend introduced me to Philippe Ullens, the owner of the Henge Shop in Avebury.

We sat facing each other across a table that held 30 or 40 small crystal skulls, each one delicately carved from a different crystal or stone.
