That's true, there are probably no genuine crystal skulls. But if we so wished, we could always make the case that this is an artifact (only one) which came about, and the existence/creation of the twelve modern skulls was a cover made by the Warehouse after they collected this one.

I do admit, it's tougher than I thought. The only powers the History site mentions (though I'm sure Wikipedia has more, and I know I've heard that they are storage devices) are healing and psychic increases. So if we go with a real skull and wish to keep it in the Dark Vault, it either needs a powerful psychic power downside or a powerful proximity healing effect which results in a massive downside (which could work as well).

If we assume it's a forgery, I think it'd be a lot harder to find effects to keep it in the Dark Vault, though I'm open to suggestions.
