LAVA STONE 

- Also known as Basalt, black lava stone is a black color volcanic rock resulting from an eruption or magma from a volcano. It contains the energy of fire. It is a very good rooting stone that creates a strong bond with the soil and its roots. Its colour varies from light and dark grey to anthracite black.

- Basalt comes from volcano quarries that have been extinct for millions of years. It is in contact with water or air that the lava solidified, more or less slowly, forming different types of lava stones (basalt, andesite, etc.). Its term comes from the Egyptian language "becken" meaning a dark stone.

- Lava stone or volcanic stone is known as a porous, but smooth stone, generally black, light grey, reddish and incorporating silicon dioxide in its composition. It is large and even geometrically plural (round, flat, square, rectangle, triangle, original, broken...).

- The process of creating lava stone begins in the depths of the earth when magma bubbles and under the influence of pressure is ejected from the ground through openings of multiple origins.

 - The porous surface and absorbent properties of lava stone make it an excellent stone to diffuse your favourite essential oils. Simply use one or two of your favourite oils and rub them on the beads. The easiest way is to add the oil to your finger first, then rub it on the beads. You can rub the remaining residue on your hands and inhale for an additional benefit. One or two drops can last from 2 to 4 hours, if you use more oil, it can sometimes last up to 24 hours.

- The essential oils used in lava jewellery also have healing properties. Essential oils have been used for centuries for medicinal and health purposes. They are derived from flowers, leaves, roots and skins, and contain high concentrations of healing compounds found in the plants from which they are derived.
