Back in China, within the cluster of beautiful amethyst crystals, Steven Z. found the crystal skull he was looking for! After a lengthy conversation between Steven and the skull, it was decided that the sculpture wasn’t finished, and Steven hollowed out the interior. This completely changed the sculpture into something spectacular! Now the intense purple amethyst crystals surrounding the skull are enhanced by the beautifully contrasting deep green celadonite deposits within, reminding us that our innermost desires can, in very magnificent ways, become a beautiful outer reality.

From Uruguay, to Arizona, then to China, and where to next? Now this world traveler shares it’s passions with us, taking our thoughts to places known and unknown, captivating us with awesome color, detail, and powerful energy.
