Do an internet search for information on the crystal skulls and you'll quickly find articles which discount the skulls as fake relics and depict the stories surrounding them as urban legend. Most of those articles probably were written in a couple of hours after a brief search for information on the internet. The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls: A Real Life Detective Story of the Ancient World, written by Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas, gives an entirely different side of the story. To get the information presented here, the authors spent years traveling the world, consulting experts, visiting the skulls and their caretakers, and interviewing people directly involved in their discovery and subsequent use. Though many do believe the skulls to have been officially discredited, this book contains the real information which gave rise to the legends and the arguments.

Many of us who work with crystals know that something very unusual happens on occasion. Although it's not a dependable event, when it does happen there's no denying it was real. Unexplained flows of energy, strange electrical effects, and mental interactions all do occur with crystals, which some mainstream scientists have pointed out do share many of the fundamental characteristics of living things. Crystals certainly seem alive at times.

Skepticism is a good habit to have, but skepticism without research and open-minded testing is only ignorance. If you aren't too set in your beliefs to actually read this book, you'll enjoy it. Maybe you'll even want to test some of the crystalline concepts on your own.
