HEALING PROPERTIES

Volcanic Stone doesn't really look like something that is healing, but for centuries it has been used for exactly that. When thinking about volcanic stones it is important to keep in mind that their origin plays a key role in their energetic qualities.

-Emotional- Since lava is known for its earth-binding qualities, it is wonderful for calming emotions. In fact, the quality of fire rising from the ground, in terms of healing gems, lends itself to a calming yet intense energy. Because it comes from pure energy, it is considered a stone of rebirth and elimination of layers of unnecessary emotional ties.

-Spiritual- Volcanic stone is fantastic for stabilizing and balancing the root chakra. This is because of its strong connection to the earth and its creation in the center of it. In folk remedies, it was given to soldiers to help them stay calm during battles.

IN CULTURE

Lava stone is easily the oldest and most frequently found stone in the world; Therefore, it is used by countless cultures. Volcanic stone literally comes from the center of the earth - burning fires bubbling to the surface.

Once the stone cools, it becomes porous and black, creating the beautiful black color that so many people have come to love. This is known as basalt, and can be found mostly in the ocean.
