Black Lava Rock Associated with the 1st Chakra, or Root Chakra, Black Lava derives its color from the iron & magnesium-rich minerals that emerge from volcanoes, making it a very light but durable igneous rock. Strength, stability, & rebirth are often related to Black Lava, & some civilations have used it to build a strong connection to the Earth. Also known as basalt, Black Lava Rock is an integral part of the oral traditions passed down through generations of indigenous tribes in the areas around the northern Rocky Mountains in North America. One example is the Legend of the Serpent, which tells the story of a giant snake that circled & squeezed the mountains until liquid rock flowed down their slopes. Raw & primal, the energy of Black Lava Rock is associated with Cancer & Taurus zodiac signs. In areas that are now central México all the way down to Costa Rica, the Aztecs used Black Lava Rock for almost every activity in daily life, from creating calendars for telling time, molcajetes for cooking, statues for artistic expression, & metates for grinding corn. Perhaps there is a purpose that Black Lava serves in YOUR everyday life. 

Rhodonite  The name Rhodonite comes from the Greek word 'rhodon' meaning 'rose' because of its color. Rhodonite is believed to encourage love & cooperation, so naturally it is connected to the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra. The clearing of emotional wounds & scars is associated with the healing power of Rhodonite.
