Finding Serenity is a top quality cluster of quartz crystals from Brazil. The base of the specimen has been sculpted into a wonderfully decorated quartz crystal skull that measures 4.6 x 2.9 x 4.1 (118x73x104mm) and weighs 1.41 pounds (639g). The quartz crystals are amazingly clear and the druse covered base behind the skull extends down giving Finding Serenity a different orientation from that of most other crystal skull carvings. The Finding Serenity quartz crystal skull sculpture from Skullis is truly fascinating and is an exceptional work of art compared to other similar crystal skulls.

The Finding Serenity crystal skull shares an energy to help us to learn to be mentally, emotionally, and physically comfortable with, and in, stillness and silence. Finding Serenity helps us to remember to be physically relaxed, understanding that being quiet and relaxed has a purpose and a profound effect in our lives, and can be many things aside from a boring and non productive state that we may perceive it to be. Finding Serenity reminds us that for those of us who are uncomfortable with "doing nothing," there is the option of finding an enjoyable activity that we love to do, and allowing our focused attention during this activity to bring us to a peaceful state of mind. Finding Serenity helps us to understand that being involved and consciously aware during this process brings us into the present moment and helps to dissolve concerns related to past and future issues. This is how being physically active can be a form of meditation, if we allow our minds and bodies to be relaxed and dedicated to the process at hand, and how this will help to maintain our overall good health and a positive outlook. This practice of being optimistic will also help us to maintain a thankful mental, emotional, and spiritual attitude.

The Finding Serenity quartz crystal skull encourages us to be at peace by letting go of issues, experiences, and concerns that are charged with negative emotions, understanding that once we have done everything we are capable of to address these issues, we can then do nothing more, and therefore it is time to release our emotional attachments to these events. Finding Serenity inspires and assists us to learn to overcome stress and the tendency to overreact or respond to situations with anger and other negative emotions.

The Finding Serenity crystal skull helps us to develop more intimate connections, and gain a deeper understanding of, the world, nature, animals, plants, and other people. It helps us to create a relaxed and peaceful environment where one can enjoy personal time and personal space to find relief from the constancy of daily life. Finding Serenity also helps us to be cautious to not become so independent and self sufficient as to allow ourselves to withdraw so far that it becomes unhealthy.

The Finding Serenity quartz crystal skull encourages us to practice and learn to become comfortable with honestly expressing our emotions to help alleviate miscommunication that can lead to stress and emotional anxiety. In dealing with others, we can also learn to recognize the events that we are likely to react to and begin to change our instinctive negative responses. Finding Serenity helps us to experience a genuine and enthusiastic optimism, and helps us to recognize and appreciate that the many good things that are happening in the world may actually greatly exceed the negative events that we are made so much more aware of. In doing this we begin mirror these joys and hopes in our own expressions, creating a more positive experience for others as well as ourselves, and encouraging the development of deeper connections to the important people in our lives.

Quartz excels at harmonizing and increasing the energies of other stones, and working to fuse the energies of multiple sources into a cohesive focus, making it ideal for wands, staffs, gridding, and the like.

Quartz enhances one’s perceptions of the world, increasing consciousness and clear thinking, and gives enhanced energy, dedication, endurance, composure, and patience, bringing the lesson of being loving and finding joy in peaceful coexistence. Clear quartz brings strength and clarity to the mind, boosting concentration and memory while filtering distractions. It is helpful in finding sleep, and helps with the interpretation of messages and lessons experienced in one’s dreams.

Spiritually, quartz crystals are considered to be unique and individual, each with their own personalities and lessons to share. For many people, quartz crystals are the first crystals they find themselves attracted to and in communication with. Many people find quartz crystals to be invaluable tools and companions in their lives. Working with quartz crystals enhances one’s personal growth and consciousness, light, and positive energy during their experiences of thoughts, actions, feelings, and encountered situations.
