Lava RockProperties:
The elemental powers of fire and earth, lava rocks are rich in minerals from deep in the earth’s core. Born of fire, these molten creations raise to the surface and become porous creations of earth. Fire is one of the four classical elements in ancient Greek philosophy and science. It was commonly associated with the qualities of energy, assertiveness, and passion, while earth was commonly associated with qualities of practicality, restraint and materialism.Lava rocks embrace both elements. The red and black lava rocks are a wonderful tool for the Root Chakra. The can be used for grounding, protection and making a connection to the earth. They allow us to “root” scattered energy, find focus and bring balance to our center by embracing practicality. Lava is a rock formed from magma erupted from a volcano.

History:
Volcanic rocks are among the most common rock types on Earth’s surface, particularly in the oceans. On land, they are very common at plate boundaries and in flood basalt provinces. Most modern petrologists classify igneous rocks including volcanic rocks by their chemistry when dealing with their origin. Most volcanic rocks share a number of common minerals. Differentiation of volcanic rocks tends to increase the silica (SiO2) content mainly by fractional crystallization. Occasionally, a magma may pick up crystals that crystallized from another magma; these crystals are called xenocrysts. Diamonds found in kimberlites are rare but well-known xenocrysts; the kimberlites do not create the diamonds, but pick them up and transport them to the surface of the Earth.These stones are from Mauna Loa. It is located on the Big Island of Hawaii and in addition to being the largest, with a summit nearly 13,700 feet high, it is also one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The beaches in Santorini are much different than other beaches in Greece due to their special geographical features. Red and black volcanic pebbles lay the shores of Santorini beaches and steep cliffs provide a picturesque ambiance. The most famous of Santorini beaches is the Red beach located only some steps away from the ancient site of Akrotiri. Soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the sandy shore and into the clear blue sea, make for a majestic setting to behold.This beautiful island in the southern Aegean Sea, has azure waters and multi-colored beaches! Famous for its white buildings and churches and some of the most eye-popping sunsets in the world, Santorini is a shining jewel in the Crown of the Greek Islands.Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption destroyed the earliest single island, and created the current geological caldera. A giant central, rectangular lagoon is surrounded by high, steep cliffs on three sides. Due to even more recent evidence, the island’s pre-eruption shape and landscape frescoes located under the ash, both strongly resemble Plato’s description of the lost city of Atlantis. No matter what the appeal, this collection embraces the magic and color of an endless summer!Why are some lava rocks white?Rhyolite is light-coloured or white – this is a clue that the rock contains a lot of silica (more than 70%) and not much iron or magnesium. Pumice, a rhyolite, is very common in the central North Island. It may still have evidence of the bubbles of gas trapped as the rock solidified.
