Many temple in Java Island, Indonesia use lava stone for statue material
It's available in nature in abundance, especially near the volcano region, lower hardness, makes it easier to carved, lighter so more easily transported, porous texture, thus absorbing more audio frequency (and perhaps radio frequency too), so it is more calming, while it has dark colors that absorb more light so besides reducing light intensity, also decrease the temperature While almost of all temples use lava stone as primary building material, probably the last two points (porous texture and dark color) that makes the temple (as a place of worship) provide calm atmosphere to the visitors |
