Lava Rock was “created in Nature’s own furnace . . . spewed forth in a magnificent display of red boulders, sand and gravel deep within the earth.  This rare product comes to us in a way that man has not been able to duplicate.”  According to mineralogists at Oregon State University, Lava Rock resulted when steam rose through a volcanic cinder pit after an eruption.  Enough silica dissolved in it to deposit opal on the surface of large bubbles that formed before the cinders solidified.  Non-precious opal is made of silica, oxygen and water.  The ovaline formed before the eruption and is surrounded by the later forming cinder material – the opposite of opal.

Driveway gravel, landscape rock, decorative are just a few examples of uses for lava rock.
