"The Oracle Stone"
The Oracle Stone, set in gold, also consists of crystallized quartz and is worked in high relief. The Oracle Stone has the function of an optical lens, it means that by the use of a specific angle of light refraction a three-dimensional picture emerges. By illuminating its back side, a picture will be projected onto the wall.
The so-called "Atlantic Crystal Library" is also composed of further artifacts such as the dragon- or snake-like object of mountain crystal with gold, called "The Serpent of Light", the Dragon, made of mountain crystal with fire opal, a Heart made of crystallized quartz with gold, set on an ornamented wooden bowl, as well as a crystallized Hand and Arm Bones. All these objects are in the property of the Ethnological Museum of the Council of World Elders.

The Crystal Skull "Corazón de Luz"
The Crystal Skull "Corazón de Luz" is one of the oldest crystal skulls in the world. The Hopi people date this crystal skull approx. 30 000 years of age. It is said that it contains the genetic information of human genetic material, by carrying the "Missing Link of Darwin" (cit.: Urs Huber Uri, Zurich, disciple of "White Bear"). The Hopi and Maya people call it a sacred crystal skull. The Inca people consider it as a keeper of the great spirit of wisdom, healing the world by means of its universal knowledge.
