Lava Stone

Metaphysical & Spiritual Properties

Lava stone has grounding and stabilizing properties, strengthening our connection to the Earth.  It is believed to help calm the mind and dispel negative emotions.  Being born of the earth through volcanic eruption, Lava can support inner strength and courage during times of change. Lava stone is also said to be a powerful tool for manifestation, as it can help one to focus one’s energy and intentions towards achieving their goals. It is also used in spiritual practices to connect with the energy of fire and the earth.

Lava Stone is often used in aromatherapy, as it is porous and can absorb essential oils. The stone is said to retain the scent of the oil for a long time, making it a popular choice for diffuser jewelry and other aromatherapy accessories.
