Its black, shiny structure with white, snow-like inclusions of cristobalite creates a pattern resembling frozen fire. This is a stone of purification and balance, a symbol of connecting opposites – it is believed to help merge emotions with logic, spirituality with realism, action with reflection. According to tradition, for centuries it has been used by indigenous healers and shamans as a tool of truth, introspection, and protection against illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e💎 VEL LEES handcrafted geometry – the OCTA TERRA octagon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eOCTA TERRA\u003c\/strong\u003e, the stone is not an insert in a frame.
