Do you know that you can make a fashion out of Lava stone? Don’t worry it won’t burn you, especially if you’re already sizzling hot. Jokes aside, we can really use it, and people wear it as fashion.
But what is Lava stone? From the word itself, it is a rock formed from lava erupted from a volcano. In other words, it differs from other igneous rocks by being of volcanic origin. Lava stone is also said to alleviate anxiety, promote emotional tranquility and bring calmness and feelings of relaxation.
So, where does it come from? Lava stones are formed when volcanoes erupt, much like obsidian stones. The lava shoots out of a volcano and runs down its side. Once this incredibly hot liquid rock dries, it becomes a lava stone. Because of these processes, lava stone is considered to be a stone of rebirth.
Does it have a spiritual meaning? Yes, Lava stone is a grounding stone that strengthens one’s connection to Mother Earth. It gives us strength and courage, allowing us stability through times of change. It also provides understanding and guidance when we need to “bounce back.” It is also instrumental in dissipating anger. Lava stone is also one of the most grounding gemstones, which makes it excellent for people who need to ground their emotions. It also resonates with the root chakra or Muladhara.
Aside from that, Lava stone is said to bring powerful spiritual effects on the human mind, cleanse negative thoughts and emotions, and stimulate creativity. For anxiety, people use it as a healing bracelet for anxiety and stress relief when used with essential oils.
For fashion, you can use Lava stone as Lava bead bracelets to diffuse essential oils. Just a few drops placed in the porous holes of a lava bracelet and then worn daily can help the wearer get the effects of essential oils in a portable and fashionable way right on their wrist.
It is also a natural stone. Its aesthetic virtues reflect its intense organic quality, its association with nature, and the chromatic movement of volcanic rock.
Lava stones can be found all over the world - at a hot spot under continental or oceanic, at mid-oceanic spans (between two divergent oceanic plates), and at subduction zones of plates, but also in areas with an active historical volcano.
Is Obsidian and Lava stone the same? No, Obsidian is produced from felsic lava. They are rich in lighter elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminum, and potassium. It is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows.
Does it last forever? With traditional use, Lava stone can last for about two years. Replacements are required because of the build-up of grease that affects the flavor, as well as the natural deterioration of the lava rocks from frequent heating and cooling.
So, are you ready to wear your Lava stone for fashion? Believing if Lava stone’s properties are real or not is up to you, but we can’t ignore that Lava stone in fashion is a great choice, especially using it as a bracelet.
