GEMSTONES & PROPERTIES

LAVA STONE (BASALT)

Basalt is a rock formed from magma erupting from a volcano. Since basalt is formed from molten lava, it originates from rock that was heated to the point of liquifying, you can only imagine the strength contained in this stone. Basalt is a stone of strength and courage, it provides stability in times of change. It often helps to dissipate anger and provide guidance and understanding. Because Lava Stone comes from volcanic origin, the nooks and crannies make each stone completely unique. Because of its porous nature, Lava Stone can also be infused with oils for further healing.

FIRE AGATE

Fire Agate, known as the spiritual flame of absolute perfection, is a variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Historically, Fire Agate was used in alchemy because it was believed to contain the essence of fire. It is a stone of integrity, encouraging high standards of behavior in self and others, and promotes passion in love and in life. Fire Agate provides a steady, vibrant energy that stimulates a zest for living. It is a stone of creativity and expression, and is particularly helpful in overcoming artistic blocks of all kinds. Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity, while its warm protective properties encourage security and self-confidence.

COPAL

Copal is a resinous substance in an intermediate stage of polymerization and hardening between more viscous resins and Amber. Copal is tree resin that has not gone through the fossilization process that makes amber what it is today. Experts can't agree about how old copal has to be before it becomes amber (it depends on geological, botanical and chemical transformations), but the general consensus seems to be that copal is usually less than 100,000 years old, but sometimes can be as young as 1000 years old. By comparison, the oldest amber pieces date to the Upper Carboniferous period, approximately 320 million years ago. Copal ranges in color from pale yellow, orange, red and white. Copal has a long, aromatic history. It has been valued since Neolithic time for its beauty when used in ornamentation, but even more so for its use in religious rites. The name "copal" comes from the Mesoamerican Nahuatl word "copalli" meaning "incense." A powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser, Copal draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels.  Copal aids in physical self-healing, emotional healing of depression, and environmental clearing. Highly protective, Copal also aids in the manifestation of ideas to reality.  The life force trapped within Copal promotes fertility, and its protective and environmental clearing properties make it a good stone to use in a healing room or in preparation for childbirth.
