Crazy Lace Agate Dragon

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. But these are small, very compact, and their spikes are less vulnerable.Skullis made three of them.

Awakening to the Crystal Skulls ~ Sue Coulson

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. I was invited into the stock room of the shop to listen to his personal journey of awakening to the skulls.  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. Philippe handled them with loving care as he spoke passionately about them. I listened with interest, but part of my mind was wondering what all...
