It was about 15 years ago, I was at a New Age Product Convention in San Francisco pushing Shirley MacLaine's Inner Workout VHS tape to the throngs of consumers and retailers looking for the next thing for enlightenment.. I bought a pair of nipple sandals, a couple of Ying/Yang Watches, and some Energy shields. But what intrigued me the most- like at the circus side show- was a tented area on the exhibition floor - for an extra $5.00 you could view and touch a "crystal skull". $5.00 back in 1988 was worth much more than it is now, but the mystique surrounding the Crystal skull is still gaining popularity. I didn't pay the extra $5.00, but I did get a glimpse of the skull, and yes its a piece of crystal shaped like a skull. With the new Indiana Jones Movie coming out- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- there will be more and more interest in the aura surrounding Crystal Skulls (for new believers). I do want to tell you during that period of my in the New Age market, my Chakra's were always in balance. I can't say the same for today!
I have posted three links- One from Discovery Channel's How Stuff Works, One from Wikipedia- and a recent AP story Enjoy!
