BIRD'S EYE RHYOLITE:
This gemstone is a type of sedimentary rock that exhibits circular patterns resembling a bird’s eye. It derives its reddish-brown hue from the presence of iron and consists mainly of silicon dioxide mixed with other impurities. This stone is associated with protection, regeneration, and inner sight. It balances Yin and Yang energies, aids in emotional healing, and is perfect for grounding and security.
Bird's Eye Rhyolite is intricately-patterned with tan, brown, and burnt sienna gemstones. It is found only in one locale in Mexico, specifically in Cases Grandes, Chihuahua Mountains. The geological conditions in this area have given rise to this beautiful variation of Rhyolite.
Emotionally, it has a soothing and calming effect. It reduces fear and insecurity, promoting emotional stability and security. This nurturing crystal fosters a sense of wholeness and tranquility, offering support during stressful times. less
