Native Copper psuedomorph of Aragonite

Locality: Corocoro, Pacajes Province, Pa Paz Department, Bolivia

Native copper with partially oxidized, green surface which has replaced prior aragonite, perfectly preserving the hexagonal crystal shape.

Interesting

Long story short: I was going research on gems and thought Labradorite represented Stolas perfectly.

According to the Helluva Boss and the original Lesser Key of Solomon, Stolas is the teacher of Astronomy and the Virtues of Herbs and Precious Stones.

While metaphysical properties of Labradorite include the regular protection and healing aspects given to many gems, Labradorite is also said to represent the Temple of Stars and assist people in traveling between Worlds.

While Stolas is shown with his plants plenty of times in the show, he's also shown with star motifs often and sometimes even wears star/galaxy themed clothing.

Obligatory reference to "Look My Way"

And as far as the "Assisting People in Traveling Between Worlds" part:

Stolas is the one providing IMP with methods to travel between Hell and Earth, which are treated like different planets or dimensions in the Hellaverse. First, it's with the loaning of his Grimoire, then as of Episode 8 of Season 2, it's with the gift of the Asmodean Crystal.

Finally, it's worth noting that while Stolas is without a doubt an Owl in Helluva Boss, he is also sometimes described as a long-legged Raven in the Lesser Key of Solomon. The constant with his description is that when Stolas doesn't look human, he looks like a bird with gray/dark feathers.

Vivziepop stayed faithful to the source material on that, making him a gray Owl with mostly darker tones except at his facial disc. He would be a very boring character to look at if it weren't for his style, surroundings and personality.

What's notable about Labradorite is that at first glance, it looks like a boring gray stone. It's only when you polish the stone and angle light through it correctly that shining iridescent colors are reveled.

All this to say:

Stolas reminds me of my favorite gemstone
