- Origin
- Found in Sea Isle City, NJ
- Natural characteristics
- A fine-grained volcanic rock — dark, dense and heavy for its size, occasionally speckled with tiny gas bubbles. Surf-rounded to an even, water-smoothed face.
- Possible geological age
- Volcanic rock ages vary enormously with source; basaltic material can range from comparatively recent to hundreds of millions of years old. The exact age of this stone is unknown.
Traditional symbolism & beliefs — cultural/spiritual associations, not medical claims.
Volcanic stone is traditionally associated with grounding and endurance in several coastal and volcanic cultures. Cultural and spiritual associations only — not medical claims.
Stone type is a visual identification made on the shore, not a laboratory result. Exact mineral identity and geologic age cannot be guaranteed from appearance alone without laboratory or geological testing.
What comes with your piece
Your one-of-one piece arrives with the Family Tides Story Card and its individual Stone Passport, documenting our likely stone identification, natural characteristics, traditional symbolism and beliefs, possible geological age/context, Sea Isle provenance when applicable, and its unique Tide number.
Made by hand. Set by hand on an adjustable band so it fits most fingers.
Stone types are described as likely identifications based on visual characteristics of the shore where we collect. We do not laboratory-test our stones and do not claim confirmed mineral identity.
