I do remember he was at the centre of an allegded child porn type scandal in Sri Lanka a few years ago,i think it was a boy who claimed the usual.Stopped him meeting Prince Charles which was due to happen prior to this.Dunno what the outcome was. 
Yeah - days before Clarke was due to receive an honourary knighthood from Prince Charles, a British tabloid newspaper published allegations from three adult Sri Lankan men that Clarke had paid them for sex when they were boys. When the Sri Lankan police asked for the interview tapes, the paper claimed they had got lost in the post; then the three men all withdrew their claims. By that time, Prince Charles (or, rather, his advisors) had suddenly remembered a prior engagement and called off the presentation.
Sir Arthur has never talked about his private life, but it's pretty well known that his only marriage ended after six months and that he's been sharing his house with a Sri Lankan man for the last two or three decades.
Yes, I remember the documentary that exposed the crystal skulls - it showed that some of them had been carved with modern tools. And I read somewhere (can't find the reference) that the most famous crystal skull, the Mitchell-Hedges skull, appeared to have been designed as a stage prop - with the right lighting and setting, you could make its eye-sockets glow and its "mouth" open and close.
If you want a crystal skull all of your own, there are quite a few sites selling them -
this one, for instance.
ETA: The current owner of the MH skull, Anna Mitchell-Hedges, has her own
website - surprise, surprise, she's flogging "Tibetan crystals", as well as her dad's highly fictionalised autobiography.
