Stone/Rock
Rock: Permanence; stability; reliability; rigidity; coldness and hardness. The Living Rock is man's primordial self. Dual rocks are a celestial doorway giving access to another realm. Christian: Water gushing from the rock signifies the waters of baptism and salvation pouring from the Church. Christ is the rock, the source of living waters and the pure river of the Gospels. The rock is also strength, refuge, steadfastness. Mithraic: Mithra was born from a rock. From: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols (J.C. Cooper)
Stone: Stability durability; reliability; immortality; imperishability; the eternal; cohesion; the indestructibility of the Supreme Reality. Static life. A stone, rock, mountain, tree, or grove, all of which are associated symbolically, can represent the cosmos in its entirety. Stones often accompany trees in sacred places, or stand alone to mark some sacred place or event. In primitive symbolism stones can give birth to people and have a life-giving potency, or people can be turned into sacred stones. From: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols (J.C. Cooper)
