The skull is the memento mori of Victorian and medieval art, a reminder to live fully, and a symbol of the ancestors at Samhain and the Day of the Dead. From the maker: This crystal skull is made from opalite which is a stone renowned for its ability to evoke feelings of love, hope, and generosity. The skull is the perfect size for holding in the palm of your hand then you need a little support or reassurance. Opalite is a man-made glass, not a natural stone, typically milky with blue and orange glow. It measures 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Man-made glass, not a natural stone. Opalite is man-made glass, which we state plainly. Opalite glows blue against a dark background and amber when backlit. Size: approximately 3.7 x 3.1 x 4.8cm, weighing about 85g. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Witchy and gothic style borrows from British folk magic and the Victorian Gothic Revival: black cats, ravens, skulls, moons and pentagrams. Each symbol carries its folklore: black cats were witches' familiars, the raven was Odin's messenger, the skull is the memento mori reminder to live fully, and the pentagram stands for the five elements in modern paganism. Opalite is chosen for its glow; in contemporary practice it is associated with transitions. In modern crystal tradition opalite is linked with the crown and third eye chakra and with Cancer and Libra. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims. ## How to use - Build a seasonal Samhain or Halloween show. - Mix with candles, dried flowers and books for an all-year gothic shelf. - It pairs traditionally with rose quartz or moonstone. - Display idea: group tools by element or colour for a calm, intentional look. - Altar idea: build around the four elements: a candle for fire, incense for air, a stone for earth and water in a bowl. - Seasonal idea: refresh the altar at each festival of the Wheel of the Year, from Imbolc to Yule. ## Care - Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip soaps, salt and long soaks. - Dust with a dry cloth; keep metal pieces dry. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
