History of Lava Stone Jewelry:
Lava stone is one of the oldest and most frequently found stones around the world and its origin plays a key role in the stone’s healing properties. As its name would suggest, the stone comes from the core of the earth.
The first time lava stones were used in jewelry was in the 18th century after the buried cities of Pompeii were discovered in Italy and people wanted the stones as souvenirs. These common stones were made into brooches, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings and sold to tourists.
Spiritual Properties of Lava Stone:
Lava rock is know for its grounding properties and is wonderful for calming the emotions. Because it comes from raw energy, it’s considered to be a stone of rebirth. It is created from the center of the earth and therefore is fantastic for stabilizing and grounding the root chakra. It gives us strength and courage, allowing us stability through time of change. It provides guidance and understanding in new situations & changes.

So, what are lava rocks?…
…technically, they aren’t really lava. Lava is what we call the molten rock that flows from an active volcano, after it’s exposed to the air. Underground it is called magma.
The lava rocks are hardened lava.

HOW DO I USE ESSENTIAL OIL JEWELRY WITH ESSENTIAL OILS?
Using essential oils with lava bead diffuser jewelry is very easy. Just use a drop or two of your favorite oils and rub them on the black lava beads. The easiest way is to add the oil on your finger first and then rub it on the black lava beads. You can rub the residue on your hands and inhale for extra benefit. You can also apply essential oils from a roller bottle and just run the roller bottle over the black lava beads. Generally essential oils should be diluted prior to using on the skin. Also the quality of the essential oils can vary between brands and some are more pure than others. Please note that if you use a poor quality essential oil with lava beads and it’s exposed to the skin, you could get possible adverse reaction on the skin. Always choose therapeutic grade essential oils if applying on the black lava beads directly or dilute with a carrier if using a lower quality essential oil to minimize possible skin reactions.
•“PLEASE RESEARCH THE TYPES OF OILS BEFORE USING THEM”
•”PLEASE APPLY THE OIL ON THE ROUND LAVA BEADS AND NOT ON THE BIB OF THE NECKLACE”

Paying homage to my best friend and family in this picture, whom I lost on December 29, 2022, my little “Toffee”. She is a very special angel in my life who constantly shared her unconditional love with me. She is my inspiration and emotional crutch even today… and will always be, as she is forever with me. Our bodies fade, but the energy of our love and connection goes on eternally. I love you Toffee. Forever. Until we meet again.
