Lava Stone is born of fire — a porous black basalt formed from cooled volcanic lava, carrying the raw, grounding strength of the earth itself.
A stone of the Root chakra and the elements of Fire and Earth, it steadies frayed nerves, lends courage and stability through change, and burns off what no longer serves you. Because it is naturally porous, lava stone also makes a wonderful aromatherapy diffuser — add a drop of essential oil and carry the scent with you. Hold it when you feel scattered to root back into solid ground.
Pairs well with: Black Tourmaline, Hematite, Smokey Quartz, and Black Obsidian.
Care: porous — avoid long soaks; cleanse with smoke or sound, and re-scent with oils as you like.
