Lava Stone
Grounding, strength, courage, and calm
What is Lava Stone?
Lava stone is porous basalt — cooled volcanic rock, matte black and honeycombed with gas pockets from its molten birth.
Meaning & symbolism
It symbolizes primal grounding: born in eruption, worn as calm. Its pores also hold a drop of essential oil, making it the classic aromatherapy bead.
How to wear & pair it
Matte black texture contrasts every polished stone — striking beside pearl or tiger's eye. The go-to men's base bead.
Care
Rinse and fully dry; re-oil sparingly if using for aromatherapy.

Frequently asked
Can lava beads hold essential oil?
Yes — one drop rubbed into a few beads scents softly for a day or two; it is the original diffuser bracelet.
Is lava stone dyed black?
No — basalt is naturally charcoal-black; its matte pores are volcanic gas bubbles, not damage.
