"Synergy" is not the true name of the skull, rather it is like a 'nickname.'  It describes the quality of the energy that it manifests on the earth at this time. 
I have only rarely written down the spiritual name of the skull out of respect for tribal traditions. I do share it face to face.

I also share a translation and explanation of the runes carved on the bottom of Synergy, when I am speaking live, as I do not want them edited.
I have been edited on TV many times without my knowledge or permission and I don't want the ancient meanings of these runes distorted.

This skull first came to light in the Western world, when it was acquired in 1981, by a European businessman and avid hiker, as he traveled around Central and South America.
He was given this crystal skull by a very old native man, in a tiny village, in the Andes, near the borders of Peru, Bolivia and Chile. He was just passing through, and had come upon the small settlement while looking for a place to stay for the night.  He wandered into the village and was greeted with smiles and an invitation to share a meal.

This gentleman, George, speaks several languages, and he usually has at least a few words in common with most of the people he meets in his travels -- enough to get by, anyway.  Although he didn't speak the same language as most of the people in this isolated village, there was an instant connection between them, and they managed with the smattering of Spanish and Portuguese that a few of them knew. In need of shelter for the night, George was offered a spot for his sleeping bag, near the fire, in the dwelling of an elderly man.

 After a peaceful evening in the old man's company, George gratefully accepted a simple breakfast and got ready to take his leave.  As he thanked the man for his generous hospitality, the elder led George to an old chest. Opening the crumbling wooden lid, he took out the crystal skull, touched it reverently, and handed it to George.  Awed by an artifact of such obvious antiquity, beauty and value, yet uncertain what he was expected to do with it, George tried to hand it back.  But, the old man urged it upon him, making it clear that he was to take it with him.   

Extremely curious about the history of such a thing, George tried to find out what the villagers knew about it. One young fellow explained in halting Spanish that  the skull had come into the possession of a much loved Catholic nun, in Peru, in the early 1700's.  She was quite old when she died in 1720. She had given it to the old man’s 'Grandfather' when he was just a boy.
(Note: It's hard to say if this was really the man's Grandfather, or just the honorary title that many natives use to designate an ancestor or revered relative.)
This nun told the boy and his father that the skull was "an inheritance from a lost civilization" and, like the Christian cross, it was a symbol of the transcendence of Soul over death.  She said that it carried the message of immortal life and the illumination that we may discover when we lose our fear of death.  She gave it to the boy and his father, asking them to safeguard it until the ‘right’ person came to get it -- and share its message with the world.  It had been brought to that land from 'somewhere else' and needed to wait until the right person could help it to continue its journey.
"Your heart will know the person," she said.

"What a strange story," thought George.  Not being of a religious or mystical nature, he wondered what the old man thought he would -- or should -- do with it.
"Do whatever your heart tells you to do"  was the answer.
So, George took the crystal skull with him, wrapped in a sleeping bag, inside of an old pillowcase.

George designs jewelry and as he flew home with the crystal skull, he thought about how nice it  would look in a display of his fine jewelry. It would certainly draw attention to his designs, he thought. So that's what he did.  For more than a decade, in shows held in Europe, people would flock to his booths where he sold his jewelry and other stones.
He slowly became convinced that there was something quite special about the skull.
"It seemed to draw people like a magnet," he said, "and it touched the hearts of many of them, deeply."  Few people walked away without taking a look at the skull, and many had strangely exhilarating experiences, telling him how they were amazed by the many rainbows and patterns within it that shifted and changed, forming strange and wonderful images inside the skull.
 
George was so intrigued by the skull that he thought he'd try and have it copied.  He has access to some good technology, and he and another person tried to have copies made. They kept breaking when almost finished.  As he continued, he found that the expense and time involved were just too high.  He discovered that the original crystal that the skull was carved from would have weighed about 100 kgs.  It's also a left handed crystal, and that presents more carving difficulties.  By the time he discovered the practical things that prevented him or others from precisely duplicating it, he'd grown attached to the skull and wasn't interested in trying to copy it anymore.  Wherever he went, he took the crystal skull, and it drew people right to his booth.  He thought of it as his "good luck piece."  
 
Many researchers have looked at this skull and one of the most interesting facts about it came from a forensic scientist, who makes a living reconstructing faces from the actual skulls of missing people. He examined it and said that it was definitely made using a real human skull as a reference. It is a work of art, not a completely precise model of a skull, but he was sure that he could he could use a special modeling clay to reproduce a face.
He explained that there are small anomalies in a real skull that only occur naturally. No piece of art (that is, something that was made directly from, and only using, the imagination of the artist)  can reproduce those anomalies. He explained that it is not possible to take a wholly imagine art object that looks like a skull to the unpracticed eye, and then use it to reconstruct a face that actually looks like a real human, no matter how carefully the imaginary artwork was constructed. In his professional opinion, this crystal skull is an artistic  reproduction of a natural object.  The measurements that had to be checked as it was fashioned, the patience, diligence and skills required to do so are mindboggling.

(Note: Another forensic scientist looked at the skull in 2003 and said basically the same thing, however, let's be clear: Whatever else this skull is or is not, it is a carved rock quartz crystal.  It is very detailed and unique, however, it is not a fossilized human skull and it is not hollow with precise anatomical details of a bone skull. It was not made by aliens, nor was it carved in China a few years ago. No ones knows precisely when it was carved or by whom. The fact that a tribe has an exact mirror twin in their possession gives us something to think about. )  

It is a "Hollywood myth" that such artifacts were made to be used in human sacrificial rites.  Experts in ancient cultures explain that the skull was thought to house the soul. To the Ancients, it was a symbol of Life, the Soul surviving death. Crystal skulls signified the essence of humankind.  They were without faces, representing all humans, not any one race or even sex.

Another interesting thing about this crystal skull is that it has several intercepted points in it. That means that the the original large rock quartz crystal (originally approx. 100 kilos or 220 pounds according to experts) had other, smaller crystals, growing inside of it and through it.  It is surprising that it didn’t shatter when attempting to carve some of the details on it.  It would have taken infinite patience and care and likely generations to do.

Certainly, like anything that mankind possesses, this crystal skull could have been used by people for their own selfish purposes, however, as an elderly nun once told a young boy, the crystal skulls are universally spoken of as legacies from a long ago time -- and items of great spiritual significance. The 'password' into any crystal skull is simple: it's love.
 
George came to America in early 2001, to debut a new custom jewelry line and to test the waters for selling his crystals. He had no inkling that he would be leaving the skull behind. The first days of the show were hectic and George was busy making deals – as well as answering the many questions people had about the crystal skull, sitting prominently on the top of his display.  A few days into the show, he met a wholesale buyer who caught his attention.  She spent a long time looking at his displays, talking a bit and carefully choosing things for the five stores she was buying for. He enjoyed talking to her about his favorite pieces and she fully appreciated the quality of what he had.  His booth was small, so he invited her to come back several days in a row to see what he had brought out from his various boxes and packages.
 
During this time, other buyers came to the booth, most of them asking about the crystal skull.  Many wanted to hold it, touch it or even purchase it. George routinely turned down considerable amounts of money for the artifact.
By the fourth day, Sherry had seen all that George had to offer and they'd concluded their business.  As she rose to leave, she looked at the crystal skull and asked him about it for the first time.  “What’s the story on this thing?” she asked.  George and touched it fondly and then picked it up. He felt a wave of something rush through him, as he handed it to her.

Sherry was surprised at how heavy it felt, and George steadied her hands as she took it.  "What a beautiful piece," she said softly. “Who made it and how did they manage to do it without breaking the crystal?”
"Over a long period of time and with great difficulty, I should think" he replied.
Then, he heard himself tell her “I think you should have this.  You need this!  You have to take it!"
“I can't afford something like this,” she laughed. “I have a business to buy for!”  
“Oh, I think you can manage it,” said George, as he gently kept her from returning the skull.
She wasn’t sure she understood what he meant, but looking at him with a penetrating stare, saw that he was serious about her taking it.  She was troubled by such a gesture from a virtual stranger and she asked him why he would want to do such a thing.
“Why didn’t you sell it -- or give it to one of those people who looked almost desperate to have it?” she asked.  
"I don't know.” He replied.  “But I think too much with my head and I need to go with my gut, my heart. Take it."
 
George’s intensity and the sincerity of his words struck a chord within Sherry, and after thinking about it overnight, she accepted the skull.  
When she took responsibility for the artifact, Sherry had no thoughts about what she might do with it.  She and George were going with the moment...deciding with their hearts, not their heads.   Her duties and responsibilities evolved over time, as she opened to possibilities.

In 2005, a man who was a representative of an aboriginal tribe, living on an island, in the region of Micronesia, came to meet Synergy in England, at the behest of his teacher who had seen a photo of Synergy in a newspaper. He came see and experience Synergy for himself.  It was a profound reunion for him.

When he traveled back to to the tribe's island, he took with him photos of Synergy and a small amethyst carved skull that had been with Synergy (and had been suffused with that skulls subtle energies). He presented the photos and the small skull to his teacher, in person, on or about November 1, 2005.

The teacher declared a day and night of story telling and eating when he saw the photos and received the small skull. He said this was proof that the skull known as Synergy had survived. They spent an entire night rejoicing and feasting and telling stories about their ancestors and the crystal skulls.

The tribe reveres skulls and has two other crystal skulls in their possession at this time, including the twin of Synergy, known as "Harmony." Skulls are an integral part of their religion and beliefs.

The main story of Synergy is that it had been 'sent out' via a canoe from the island, across the Pacific to South/Central America, a very long ago, to the "People of the Sky, the Warriors of the Clouds" to then await the 'right person' who would eventually come for it and take it elsewhere.  It had stopped in the Hawaiian Islands before it went into the Northern Andes.

The 'Synergy Energy' had come home again. At least to one of its homes, because their stories also indicate that hadn't been carved there - it was given to this tribe by their ancestors - they claim to be descendants of Lost MU - also known as Lemuria.  They say that they kept the skulls safe, and when 'requested' to do so, sent one of them out into the world to share the Mana or energy.

During a visit to Hawaii in September, 2007, Sherry met with two Kahunas. During that visit it was verified that Synergy had indeed been in the Hawaiian islands. The one Kahuna knew without me telling them anything that this skull had been sent across the Pacific in a canoe and that it had stopped in the islands for a period of time before it continued on its way to the "People of the Sky, the Warriors of the Clouds."

There is substantial physical proof of that fact still in existence in the islands inside of a secret cave - and it ties the skull directly back to the Tribe in Micronesia!
I cannot in good conscious share the details of what was revealed to me. If I am allowed to at any point, I certainly will.
 
Many people who have experienced Synergy remark on the gentle (although intense) energy of the skull. Many also talk about Lemuria.   Lemuria was said to exist in and around the island area that this tribe lives today.

Where was this crystal skull carved? I doubt we'll ever really know. It seems to be too old to follow back past any point that the tribe's oral history can account for and it was said to be a legacy from a lost civilization, even back then.


I said this earlier, but it bears repeating now:
There is more information about this skull's history, via the Tribe and the Kahunas - but according to their traditions, it is not allowed to write down the Sacred history without permission. I hope that I will be allowed to share it in more detail at some point.  I do share more specific information face to face and in live interviews, as this direct 'transmission' of information is allowed.
I do not name the exact island that the Tribe is located on or where the cave of the Ancestors in Hawaii is located, out of respect for their sacred traditions. Treasure hunters and looters have already taken some items out of these caves and I don't want to contribute in any way to their desecration and disrespect.

NOTE:  There is more information about this skull's history, via the Tribe called the "Real People" or the "Respectful Ones" and certain Hawaiian Kahunas - but according to their traditions, it is not allowed to write down certain Sacred history without permission.
Spiritual experiences and information can be ephemeral and difficult to share with someone who has not gone through their own experiences.  It is a highly personal experience.  Some things are meant to be shared face to face and not written down.  Many indigenous peoples around the world have this inhibition about writing their history and sacred things down.

I hope that I will be allowed to share it in more detail at some point.  I do share more specific information face to face and in live interviews, as this direct communication is allowed.

I do not name the exact island that the Tribe is located on or where the cave of the Ancestors in Hawaii is located, out of respect for their sacred traditions. Treasure hunters and looters have already taken some items out of these caves and I don't want to contribute in any way to their desecration and disrespect. I intend to honor their customs to the best of my ability. Therefore, I only share here what the Tribe feels comfortable with and what they have agreed to.

The Real People are the ones who hold Synergy's twin, known as Harmony.
