Crystal Oddities Pt 3

This is fast becoming one of my favourite blog components, because it gives equal parts mirth and sadness that these poor crystals are being used in such a manner. 

This poor unfortunate soul was listed as a lion, although it looks more like an orc from Lord of the Rings. 

Oh dear.  There isn't really any other way to desribe this... erotic carving, aside a man and woman engaged in sex. While riding a dragon. At least it can't get any worse...

Oh it definitely got worse... now it appears to be a man and a pig caught in a lusty embrace, and then being kissed by a bird? Yeah I don't know either. I really don’t think I want to know.

This little guy was listed as a rabbit... crossed with a triceratops I think! Maybe an Aztec deity? 

This "eagle" looks more like a turkey unfortunately, gobbles included! It's not a bad carving per se, just... not an eagle!

Now, I know it can be hard to envision a foreign animal, just look at what Victorian England came up with. Nowadays however, it is pretty easy to Google a picture of an elephant and realise that the tusks do not go... there.

Now, I am a huge fan of crystal skulls. They are dignified, mystical and... not that. Who on earth would want to carve a clown skull? I know some people like the innate creepiness of a clown skull, but I have never heard of someone in the spiritual community saying "Just a minute, I need to go psychically connect to the wisdom of my clown skull". It just doesn't work the same way.
