Natascha Suter Kristallhimmel
I, Natascha Suter love crystals. Even as a child I was fascinated. It was a book about healing stones that I bought when I was 20 that deepened my interest. After completing a few stone healing course I realized therapy was interesting but cuttting and shaping the crystal was my thing.
Over the years, my collection of minerals grew. In autumn 2013 I took the plunge, followed my dream and begain selling stones. Almost at the same time my life was changed when I discovered crystal skulls. Crystal skulls!! It became my greatest passion to create skulls and dragons by cutting the crystals myself. Demand for my creations grew. I was supported by my husband who built me a customer made cutting machine and helped me improve my efficiency.
In the summer of 2015 I surprisingly met Leandro de Souza at a mineral show. Three years later, a dream came true that I didn't even dare to dream of! Orion, a 90kg light smoky quartz skull from Leandro came to me in a wonderful way. So the skulls literally get things rolling! Since the beginning of 2021 I have been the only distributor of Leandros and Igor's works of art in Switzerland.
For me, the crystal skulls and crystals are real friends and helpers that I would never want to be without. I love to share this passion with like-minded people.
Geraldo Leandro de Souza is the most famous skull grinder in the world
He lives in Brazil and started cutting crystals and stones at the age of 14.
“My interest and appreciation for art began in mine Childhood. Coming from a humble background, I started making my own toys out of wood and clay. Stones have always been of interest to me, which grew steadily in my teenage years."
His pieces are known for their quality, fine details and uniqueness as well as a large variety of materials and sizes. In addition to crystal skulls, he has created beautiful carvings of dragons, animals, angels, goddesses and the Virgin Mary. Leandro also cut the world's largest crystal skulls.
"What fascinates me most is the energy that the stones give me and my sculptures. The stone itself moves me to create the shape it wants to be in."
The focus is on the production of high-quality sculptures from large to small. Leandro is continuously expanding his repertoire of sanding designs from the finest materials and shapes.
"I love art, stones, the people who work with me, and I love knowing that people are the objects that were created by my hands , really appreciate it.”
Fortunately, his son Igor has also inherited his talent and you can also find his works of art here in the Kristallhimmel.
