Crystal skulls are mysterious archaeological artifacts originally found near Mexico, South and Central America. Crystal skulls were made with unknown technology that continues to baffle researchers. Crystal skulls continue to be manufactured for occult purposes.
The origin of the anomalous crystal skulls is unknown. These Mesoamerican skulls were found near Aztec and Mayan ruins. Since the ancient Aztec culture featured skulls in their art and religion, it is believed that they may originate from the Aztec people. The age of these skulls is unknown and it is guessed that their age could range from a thousand to many thousands of years old.
When the mysterious crystal skulls are examined, there are no scratch marks found on them. The Mitchell Hedges Skull has a removable jaw that if balanced correctly will move as though it were speaking. The theory about the creation of this crystal skull is that first a rough cut was made with diamonds then the skull features were etched with a sand wash. One researcher discovered that if light is shone up from under the skull, the eyes receive light and that the skull itself lights up as if it were on fire. The Mitchell Hedges Skull is different from most of the other skulls because the others are mostly stylised with etched features. While some of the crystal skulls are clear quartz, others are made from different colored crystals including cloudy quartz and amethyst. The crystal skulls range in size from only a few inches tall to a little bigger than actual human skull size.
Crystal skulls are said to be among the most powerful occult tools in existence. It is speculated that formerly the crystal skulls were used for occult purposes including energy direction, divination, channelling and healing. Their current owners sometimes take the mysterious ancient crystal skulls on tour. Crystal skull owners name their skulls and describe their personalities as though the crystal skull were a living entity. People visit the skulls for healing, meditation and scrying purposes. When people are near the crystal skulls, they also report other paranormal phenomena including psychic impressions, images seen in the skulls and eyes and the feeling of immense energy coming from the crystal skulls.
Crystal skulls are made in modern times using technology that leaves telltale scratch marks. It is thought that the technology and design that went into the Mitchell Hedges Skull cannot be copied. Nevertheless, people continue to purchase and use modern made crystal skulls for the same sort of purposes as the truly mysterious crystal skulls.
Crystal skulls are mysterious occult tools that have an unknown origin and manufacturing process. Used for many occult purposes, people report positive experiences with the crystal skulls. Since most of us may never get a look at the anomalous Mesoamerican crystal skulls, the modern versions are an accessible and useful alternative.
