The Serpent’s Egg is a brilliant and most eloquent crystal skull sculpture carved from one single agate geode specimen from Brazil. The agate itself is a top quality specimen, with many different colorful layers creating beautiful natural embellishments in this unbelievable work of art. At the top a regal crystal skull is decorated with these translucent and multicolored agate bands, and it features an open geode interior lined with crystal point terminations. The crystal skull is supported by the body of the serpent on one side and an agate branch shaped design on the other side. The serpent and the branch both extend to the base of the sculpture, with the serpent twisting back, then rising up and giving a flick of its tongue to create a lemniscate, or infinity symbol. The carefully planned sculpture has resulted in most of the body of the serpent featuring some of the best contrasts of the agate layers, and the serpent’s eyes are made of richly colored faceted rubies. In the interior of this superb carving rests an unattached, free floating agate sphere that has been carved within the agate sculpture. As with the entire sculpture, the crystal sphere which cannot be removed, has been perfectly carved and polished to a high glassy finish. The sphere is part of the original agate specimen, showing the same coloration and formation as the exterior carving. The agate crystal ball is kept in place inside this astonishing carving by the various features of The Serpent’s Egg, and can be turned and displayed in any orientation.

The Serpent’s Egg is a true masterpiece of crystal skull design that requires much dedication and time, and a superior level of skill and talent, to create. This magnificent agate geode sculpture measures 3.5 x 5.3 x 7.0 inches (90x135x178mm) and weighs 3.95 pounds (1791g).
