Raw lava stone is a piece of volcano to display in your home. Its matte black, porous, crater-riddled, and bubble-flecked appearance is raw and primordial, speaking volumes instantly. It's basalt, molten lava that cooled in seconds upon contact with air or water, trapping gas bubbles in its structure to create its characteristic texture. Holding a raw lava stone in your hand is holding a fragment of the Earth's most powerful energy, that which comes from the core, travels through the mantle, and erupts to the surface in an act of creation as violent as it is fertile. For lava destroys, but it also fertilizes: volcanic soils are among the richest in the world.
In lithotherapy, raw lava stone is valued for its energy of deep grounding, inner strength, and transformation. Placed in a living space, it brings powerful telluric energy that stabilizes and roots. On a desk, it provides determination and solidity to bring projects to fruition. At the entrance of the house, it anchors the home's energy. Held in the hand during meditation, it connects directly to the root chakra and the Earth's core. Raw lava stone also serves as an excellent essential oil diffuser for the home: place a few drops on the porous surface and the stone slowly releases them into the room, a natural alternative to electric diffusers.
For maintenance, a rinse with clear water is sufficient. Allow to air dry as its porosity retains water. Recharge it in the sun or on a quartz cluster. Raw lava stone is strong and resistant; it can be handled without any special precautions.
