Product Description
Spirit Stone Stone Sphere Decorator Rock
This is a banded travertine semiprecious stone material known as Spirit Stone.
The hand-carved Spirit Stone sphere is 3 inches or 78 mm in diameter.
Beautiful Spirit Stone (aka Yavapai Travertine) comes from near Mayer, Arizona.
This is called Spirit Stone by the Navajo Native Americans, because they believe history is told in its layers.
Travertine is formed near hot springs. When the pressure which forced the water to the surface is released, the water evaporates and the calcium carbonate settles, forming the mineral Aragonite. As water seeps through, the mineral grows stronger and more durable and the rock becomes Travertine.
