🌋 The Meaning of Lava Stone: From Fire to Earth

**Lava Stone** (Basalt) is literally solidified fire. It is formed when molten magma erupts from a volcano and cools on the earth’s surface.
Because of this violent birth, it carries the energy of **Rebirth** and shedding unneeded layers. It is the strongest stone for connecting to the **Earth Element**, stabilizing the Root Chakra instantly.
💧 How to Use Lava Stone as a Diffuser?
The natural holes and bubbles in Lava Stone act as a sponge. Here is how to turn your jewelry into a mobile spa:
- Place your bracelet on a cloth.
- Add 1-2 drops of your favorite **Essential Oil** (Lavender for calm, Peppermint for focus) directly onto a black lava bead.
- Let it soak for 5 minutes before wearing.
- The scent will diffuse naturally for 1-3 days via your body heat.
🔍 Real vs. Fake Lava: The Wax Test
Real Lava Stone is rough and porous. Fake lava is often just concrete or plastic.
- Pores: Real lava has random, irregular holes. If the holes look perfectly drilled or uniform, it’s fake.
- Wax Coating: Some sellers dip lava in wax to make it smooth. Avoid these! Waxed lava cannot absorb essential oils. Our beads are unwaxed and raw for maximum absorption.
