This massive skull weighing in at several pounds is unusual in that it is CLEARLY a skull formed as a cast in a conglomerate lode, but then the inside is filled in by roughly crystallized copper...Very unusual! This makes the piece heavy for its size, as it is more like a solid baseball than a skull with hollow space
