Flower Pots and Accessories

Our products are made of the lahar stones after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo on June 13, 1991 . Millions of tons of volcanic ashes and molten stone were blown 25,000 feet into the sky, shutting out the sun and causing almost total darkness at three o'clock on a sunny tropical day in the Philippines.

Enormous areas of the countryside for as far as 20 kilometers around the base of the volcano were totally devastated by the ashes and lava that were thrown into the air by the eruption. These red hot burning blobs of lava that fell through the sky still releasing gasses cooled and formed lahar stones, also called pumice stones. The stones, some as big as automobiles, others size of footballs and tennis balls, fell like rain during the three days of the most violent eruption.

 

The local people began working with the pumice stones, which they gathered from the valleys and dug out of the now - dry and desert - like landscape and created beautiful handicraft products like flowerpots ,vases and other accessories for us.

To have one of our products is as having a piece of one of the most powerful volcano in the world.
