Lava stone is a natural product of solidified volcanic magma: a matte-black rock full of tiny pores and surprisingly light. This elastic-cord bracelet is made of such beads, rounded and polished.
About lava stone
Lava stone (basaltic volcanic rock) is the remnant of lava that reached the surface and cooled quickly. Its characteristic sponge-like surface comes from gas bubbles trapped as it cooled, which is what makes it light and warm to the touch. Its matte, deep-black look suits any outfit. In tradition, lava stone is known as a stone of grounding, courage and perseverance, and many see it as a symbol of steadfastness for carrying a larger plan through. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
Make
The bracelet is made of rounded, polished lava beads on an elastic cord, about 8 cm across. It is easy to slip on and sits comfortably on the wrist. Because of its porous surface, many add a few drops of essential oil, which the stone holds for a while.
What is it for?
The lava stone bracelet is a clean piece that suits all kinds of wear. It has character on its own, and pairs nicely with colourful gemstone bracelets, beside which the matte-black stone offers a calm counterpoint.
Good to know
This is natural volcanic rock, so surface and shade may vary slightly from piece to piece. It is best kept from heavy knocks and wiped with a dry cloth.
