Sculpture & Aesthetics
We have a soft spot for skulls. The hollow eyes, the cheekbones, that unmistakable grin. Somehow, there’s always room for another—especially when something about it catches you: the shape of the face, an unusual marking, the way it looks from one particular angle. That’s the fascination we bring to carving them.
That affection carries into the carving. We pay attention to the cheekbones, the shape of the jaw, and how the face changes as you turn it in your hand. Natural stone adds another reason to look closer: a vein crossing the brow, a change of color along the cheek, a detail you only notice after living with it for a while. We want to make the kind of skull we would stop to admire—and immediately start making room for.
Amazonite
Amazonite is the green to blue-green gem variety of potassium feldspar, most commonly microcline. White streaks, grid-like patterns, and mottled color occur naturally, while cleavage and internal fractures may remain visible after polishing.
I believe in amazonite’s energy of truth, courage, and communication. I would choose it when there is something important I need to say, and I want to find the confidence to say it in my own voice.

Natural Variation & Care
Natural veils, inclusions and variations in color are part of the material’s character. Appearance may vary with lighting and screen settings.
Protect it from drops, pressure, and thermal shock because of its cleavage and natural fractures. Clean briefly with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, then dry; avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaning.
Support the carving by its main body or solid base. Protect the teeth, jaw and thin carved edges from knocks and pressure.
