The Piedra de Rayo, or Thunderstone, is a powerful sacred object found in Afro-Caribbean, indigenous, and African Diaspora traditions. Often linked to Shango—the Orisha of thunder and lightning—this stone is believed to be formed where lightning strikes the earth, capturing raw cosmic energy. Used for protection, empowerment, and ritual work, it’s placed on altars, carried as a talisman, or included in ceremonies calling on divine justice, strength, and swift transformation. Whether used in spiritual baths or thunder-related offerings, the thunderstone represents nature’s voice and ancestral intervention in times of need.
