Trying to define the Star of David by its shape alone is not enough - even though the Star of David is a hexagram not every hexagram is a Star of David. This is a source of confusion for many people who see it on Indian temples, or as sheriffs' badges, or as Chinese checkers etc.

To be on the safe side it could have been a corect title if it read: "Lava in the shape of Star of David"..."sfsweetness" wrote to me:
