This is an AMAZING wishing stone from the Island of Martha's Vineyard. Wishing stones are specifically quartz banded rocks, known for their unique and beautiful patterns. Originating from the United States, these stones are believed to be lucky and are commonly used for wishing or meditative purposes. A Wishing stone or Lucky rock is typically a sedimentary or igneous rock, such as dark gray basalt, limestone, or sandstone featuring a single, unbroken ring around its circumference. This encircling band is usually a vein of white or pink quartz, formed when minerals fill a fissure created by tectonic stress and polished by water erosion. This Stone is photographed dry but is even more spectacular when wet! Size is 5" x 7" Perfect GIFT!!!!!! Send a giant Wishing Stone as a friendship gift for meditation.
