red-brown and dark black create a distinctive look.

that the process of its formation is subsequently reflected in the
psyche of the owner.

bold energy. The stone is always ready to shift your
perspective and energize your emotional balance whenever you need it.
This stone is capable of many things, but the most important is
building the inner strength and self-confidence of its owner
and as such is truly transformational. It will lead to learning from past
