The War God Skull, carved from a nautiloid fossil from Madagascar, stands battle ready, armored in his ancient helmet. This fossilized nautiloid is yet another very unique sculpture from the visionary designers and artists at Skullis. The ammolite of the beautifully preserved shell plays with the light showing rainbows of refracted colors, while the eyes of the skull have been designed to allow light to shine through them from behind. With this mastery of light, and so, wisdom, the War God Skull brings strategy and tactics to all of our endeavors. Ingenuity, tact, cunning, and enhanced coordination of mind, body, emotions, and spirit lead us to find success and victory.
The War God Skull mounts on a highly polished black obsidian stand to complete the presentation of an outstanding work of fine art. The attention to detail and consideration for the overall effect of this sculpture is remarkable. Not only has the interior been hollowed to allow one to see through the eye sockets, but along with the meticulous details of the skull itself, even the nose guard of the War God Skull’s helmet is true to how it should be; the bridge is raised off the skull carved under and behind it. This is the only sculpture of this design Skullis has produced, and The War God Skull is in a class all its own.
Possibly a member of the Cymatoceras genus, this beautiful fossil still retains its outer shell and displays wonderfully colorful bands of iridescent ammolite. Cymatoceratidae appeared about 174 million years ago and the Cymatoceras genus lived between 163.5 to 23 million years ago. As with our modern nautilus, the shell grew in a way that the outer whorl widens and envelops the previous turn of the shell.
More closely related to the modern chambered nautilus than octopi, cuttlefish, and squid, this very fine nautiloid fossil specimen was unearthed in Madagascar. It shows an excellent example of ammolite iridescence on the shell caused by interference with light that rebounds from stacked layers of the thin aragonite platelets that make up the shell. When the seas receded, the nautiloidea were buried by layers of sediment which preserved the aragonite of their shells, preventing them from converting to calcite.
In order to create jobs in the country, Madagascar export law requires that all fossils from Madagascar be polished or altered in some way. Fortunately most fossils are much more lovely after this process. Here do we not only have the wonderful sample of one of the very few organic gems, ammolite, but also behind the polished shell the interior of the nautiloid has been revealed to show the detailed growth pattern of the animal which has been replaced and preserved by calcite.
Having been discovered numerable times throughout recorded history, often by asking very simple and unrelated questions, the Golden Ratio, or Fibonacci Sequence, the consistently repeated pattern of nature growing and evolving , is represented here in this ancient fossil. This Golden Ratio is considered one of the forms of Sacred Geometry which reflects the universe, its pure forms, and the dynamic relationship we share with nature - the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. By studying the Sacred Geometry of one thing we find meaning and structural insight into the workings of the inner self and other processes of the universe. Incredibly this spiral growth pattern occurs over and over in the universe around us, from the molecular structure of our DNA, to most plants, including cauliflower, cacti and succulents, daisies and sunflowers, many, many trees, pinecones and pineapples, shells of many invertebrates, and so on all the way out to the astronomical scale of the Milky Way and other distant galaxies! The ammonite is considered to directly connect one to the Golden Mean Spiral energies to promote personal growth, self-awareness, and the evolutionary consciousness of the Earth and the higher consciousness we all share.
The metaphysical properties of ammonite fossils, nautiloids, and similar sea dwellers are the same. Ammonites are employed for gaining insight of where to begin a process, and to maintain sight of the whole picture while focusing on the individual steps of that process. They are used for protection, structure, and stability, and to transform negativity into a gentle, fluent energy. Ammonites are also used to assist one with relaxation and to provide support and minimize depression that can be associated with the re-birthing process. In Feng Shui, ammonites symbolize longevity, harmony, and virtue and are used for prosperity, improved flow of chi, detoxifying the body, and are used to bring about good health, happiness, and wisdom. Physically ammonites have been used to ease the birthing process, and for treatment of issues with the extremities of the body and the lungs.
In north Indian legends, ammolite absorbs the essence of the universe and has a curing and regulating effect on the body. North American Indian tribes used ammolite for its helpful properties as well. The Blackfoot tribe considered it to be a stone of good healthy and prosperity, and the Navajo carried ammolite as a good omen during long journeys. In Feng Shui, ammonite and ammolite symbolize longevity, harmony, and virtue and are used for prosperity, improved flow of chi, detoxifying the body, and are used to bring about good health, happiness, and wisdom. Ammolite increases the energies and effectiveness of Feng Shui. Ammolite can be used for heightening spiritual awareness and connecting to, and communicating with, the shared energy and consciousness of the Earth and is considered one of the best crystals to work with for the assisting with the current Earth changes and consciousness shifting we are experiencing. Ammolite transforms negative energy into healing energy, and enhances meditation, encourages a positive outlook, and helps to alleviate stress and suffering. Ammolite is one of the few gems of organic origin, and it is worn as talismans, amulets, and other forms of jewelry to promote abundance and bring one good luck.
Ammolite is used to activate dormant DNA to move one forward to the state of perfect health of the physical and etheric bodies. It is also used for craniosacral therapy. It helps to reduce stress and tension, and in Feng Shui it is used to detoxify the body and improve energy flow to bring about overall wellbeing.
Fossils, in the distant past, were believed to be seeds from the stars that were grown in the earth and as such, are considered to enhance telepathic communication with worlds of the past and with other worlds today. Fossils are used to enhance and intensify achievements in business and to diffuse quality and purity into an environment. Fossils can assist in letting go of habits and undesirable thought processes, and to be aware and considerate of new options and energies that are available.
Fossils are used for the treatment of conditions of the thymus, bones and skeletal system, issues of the hands and feet, and dis-ease involving atrophia. Fossils assists one to remain grounded, bringing balance, stability, and vitality and endurance. They assists in calming the mind, allowing the body to release stress so one may experience peace and comfort.
Shells provide a connection to the water element and the moon, and so to the emotions. Shells enhance intuition and sensitivity providing mental clarity and insight to assist with decision making. Shells possess a pliant, easy healing energy that gradually increases in intensity to become quite powerful and effective. This characteristic is effective not only for healing, but also for conveying messages within one's self, between people and in groups, and with the spiritual planes. Shells are wonderful tools for manifestation and transformation. They can provide one with the ability to adapt to changes and increase one's spiritual power to bring happiness, prosperity, and fulfillment, and allow for the expression of one's imagination and creativity. Shells are naturally inclined to provide protection for the home, travelers, small children and pets, from uncooperative attitudes and actions of the self and others, and protection for the emotions. Shells can be used to enhance energies and to assist one in meditation, decision making, and in exploring alternate realms of existence. Shells encourage cooperation and cohesion for groups, for individuals, and for the self.
Shell can be used for skeletal issues, broken bones, proper utilization of calcium and vitamins A and D, and bringing optimal health to the spinal canal, brain, and the blood, lymphatic, immune, and nervous systems.

General description of crystal skulls
Crystal skulls have been revered around the world for centuries. From deep in the past when they graced the palaces of emperors, the thrones of kings, and the work places of scholars, sages, doctors, and philosophers, right up to contemporary times, crystal skulls have proven their worth to those of us that search the world for beauty, that enquire for greater knowledge, that hope to heal life's hurts, and that dare to ponder the universe.
Carved from minerals, the very bones of our planet, crystal skulls combine the beauty of nature with the art and craftsmanship of man. These minerals were birthed by the Earth Mother eons before humankind existed. Singled out worldwide by Skullis, they are usually the finest precious and semi-precious gemstones, sparkling rock crystals, or brilliantly-colored rocks.
The Skull, long regarded as the very home of knowledge, wisdom, and soul, forms the ultimate bridge. A bridge that links our own conscious perception of our physical presence with what is considered the unknown. A crystal skull conveys information, it transmits energy, and it provides the power to create healing, harmony, and insight, thus becoming an exquisite spiritual ally and an informative friend.
