Hand carved from 25kg Namibian Aquamarine Crystal .

Since we used Namibian Aquamarine, I wanted to share an African Folktale:

A hunter came across a skull in the desert. He looked down upon it and thought aloud: “What brought you here?”

The skull replied: “Talking.”

The hunter was amazed! A talking skull! He immediately ran back to the village and told the king of his discovery. “In all my years,” said the king, “I have never heard of the dead speaking.” The hunter insisted it was true and the king instructed his guards to go with the hunter to discover if what he was saying was true. The king gave further instructions that if the hunter was lying, he should be struck dead.

So the hunter took the king’s guards to the spot where the skull lay. He asked it: “What brought you here?” It did not reply. He told it: “Speak.” It did not. All day he tried to get the skull to speak but it would not do so. Finally, as the sun began to set, it was clear that this ordinary looking skull was not about to start speaking so the guards immediately cut off his head and rode home.

The skull turned to the hunter’s head and asked: “What brought you here?”

The hunter’s head replied: “Talking. Talking brought me here.”

Just please don’t put yourself in a situation where you condemn yourself.

Measuments: 22x20x30cm
