Some of the coolest patterns in natural stone come from volcanic activity! From spotted river jasper to orbicular rhyolite, these stones feature incredible circles, speckles, and swirling patterns formed through complex geological processes.

Many of these stones began as silica-rich volcanic material that cooled, crystallized, or underwent alteration over millions of years. The distinctive orbicular patterns reflect localized mineral growth and changes within the rock, creating designs that can look like flowers, bubbles, or tiny landscapes.

At Ben Davis Designs, we love revealing these natural patterns through cutting and polishing. Each stone has its own geological story, and our handcrafted settings turn these fascinating pieces of Earth's history into wearable art.

• In the metaphysical world, jasper and rhyolite are often associated with grounding, emotional balance, and connection to the Earth.
