  • People are absolutely in love with our gemstone skulls! Each one is crafted by hand by our master carvers in our Antananarivo, Madagascar factory. Getting this technique right requires decades of practice, and we're lucky to have our experienced team of workers on it!

    We have always been told that the Crystal Skulls were created by civilizations from other worlds ... I am very pleased to see that you are an earthling and a true artist, congratulations for the magnificent work!

    I am glad that there are folks out there who can create something out of crystal and shut the mouths of those that take the same object and try to claim it's from other worlds or billions of years old. The crafters sure have a lot of talent.

      There is a huge difference between mass produced modern carvings and gem carvings from antiquity. You cant mash them together to prove one vs another. Skulls have been carved for thousands of years, and many of them have unexplainable characteristics, as well as perfection values that are very difficult to achieve today with nmodern tools. The same can be said for many ancient pyramids.

      Not to worry! The carvers who work on our skulls have been with us for decades. They're skilled, trained, and know their way around the saws and polishing equipment. :)

      @IamPJKisiel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They way they were cutting was as safe as you can get, the blade was spinning away from them and the continuous diamond blade doesn’t cut skin that easy. Any safety equipment would result in a poorly finished product, that mans tools are an extension of his body I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

    a lot of people are talking about safety, but the blade doesnt work on skin. theres nothing for the blade to grip to make a huge injury. its made specifically to only cut rock/other hard materials. if im wrong, please correct me, im always trying to expand my knowledge.

    • @greyone308
      @greyone308 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You are correct, its hard to cut your finger with a water cooled diamond blade. They have nothing in common with a wood or metal cutting blade.

The top of the pyramid are snow white quartz boulders in a group creating a powerful healing environment. There are red ocher mounds and large standing stones with petroglyphs on them on the east side also. Blue quartz boulders, portals to other dimensions erupt from the ground. Many strange artifacts have been found here from magic wands to seeing stones.

    • @madagascarminerals9524
      @madagascarminerals9524  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hi there, Tom! Thanks for asking. We don't pay by percentage. We start our apprentices off at three times the average wage in Antananarivo, and then pay goes up from there, depending on skill and experience. Many of our workers have been with us for over 20 years, so we like to make sure they're compensated fairly.

      Hi Kenneth. As the video shows, each one of our skulls is carved by hand. A lot of people are used to seeing carvings done by CNC machines, which allow for completely uniform shapes, but our customers appreciate the time and artistry that goes into each one of these. And ultimately, it's easier to see the finer details in person than in a video, especially with a Quartz skull like this. You can see more examples on our Instagram page, and some here as well.
