A crystal skull is a model of a human skull made out of clear quartz crystal. The sculptures vary in size from a few inches to the size of a human head, if not bigger.
There are 13 crystal skulls worldwide which some say have mystical powers and are of uncertain ancient origin.
People who believe in the psychic power of crystal skulls say that the skulls are a center of radiant psychic energy and have the power to increase happiness and improve people's lives just by being held, handled and spoken with; others have suggested that crystal skulls can be used like crystal balls, to aid divination.
The healing and supernatural powers of crystal skulls have never been scientifically established. The scientific community at large has found no evidence of any unusual phenomena associated with the skulls nor any reason for further investigation.
Ancient Crystal Skulls are allegedly fashioned hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago. Most of these skulls have been discovered within or near ancient ruins in Mexico or Central America and many are guarded by descendants of indigenous people throughout the world.

There are reports of a number of other old and ancient crystal skulls that were uncovered in various ways during this same century which eventually found their way (after passing through the hands of various people) to specific individuals. Supposedly ancient civilizations used crystal in their computers - or in ceremony with crystal skulls - as computers to heal, channel and direct energy for many purposes - spiritual and technological. Today many people buy crystal skulls and use them in much the same way.
