Stand sold separately Orbicular granite is a rare type of igneous rock characterized by its distinctive appearance. It is composed of concentrically layered, spheroidal structures called orbicules, which are typically made up of alternating bands of dark and light minerals. Orbicules can range in size from a few centimeters to several meters in diameter. The orbicules are formed by crystallisation from a fluid-rich supercooled dioritic magma nucleated on seed crystals. The orbicules appear to have settled under gravity while each was still a skeletal mesh of crystals, since the orbicules are frequently deformed or molded against one another. According to metaphysics: It is one of the premier healing stones. It is very popular and extensively used in the healing arts. It clears and purifies negative energy better than any other stone. It has amazing properties of relieving both mental and physical stress, sort of like a “stress absorber.” All crystals and minerals vary slightly in size and shape.
