Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Significance of Lava Rock?
Lava rock is volcanic rock. It is a practical substance that people use for many things, but it also has cultural and symbolic significance. For example, the Hawaiians believe that lava rock holds spiritual energy, and they use it to create sacred objects. Other Polynesians also respect the significance of lava rock. They believe that lava rock is connected to the fire deity and that it signifies protection and strength.
Can Lava Rock Be Used as a Building Material?
Yes, lava rock is known for its strength and durability, so it can be used as a building material. After lava rock cools, it is known as “basalt,” and this substance is one of the hardest rocks that planet Earth offers us. A structure built with basalt is considered to be highly resilient. For example, builders choose to use lava rock to build a very strong and durable foundation. Builders also choose to create other foundational elements of a building with lava rock for this reason. However, it has its limitations because it is difficult to find and may only be available in particular regions of the world.
