Lava stone was used by American Indians when entering battle for its qualities of strength and clarity. It’s believed to provide strength (physical and mental) when facing difficult situations.
Lava Stone provides stability in times of change. It often helps to dissipate anger and provide guidance and understanding. A very grounding stone, black lava strengthens our connection to Mother Earth.
FUN FACT!!!! Add ONE drop of essential oil on each lava bead… a little goes a long way, so you only have to put oil on a couple of the beads and it will last 2-3 days!!!
