Origin & Composition: Lava stone, mainly basalt, forms from the rapid cooling of molten lava during volcanic eruptions. Its fine-grained, porous texture results from quick solidification, preventing large crystal growth. Minerals: Key components include plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine, giving it a dark hue (black to brown and grey). Common Locations: Iceland, Italy - found near Mount Etna and Vesuvius, Hawaii - abundant due to the island volcanic origins, used culturally and architecturally, Indonesia (Bali) and Mexico.

Raw lava stone versus waxed When comparing raw lava stone to waxed lava stone, the choice often comes down to personal preference. Unwaxed lava stones and beads are available in their natural form, offering a rough texture and the original color of gray, brown, or black. They are lightweight and cool to the touch, making them comfortable for wear. However, they can be abrasive and may scratch skin if not handled carefully. Waxed lava stone beads are treated with waxing products (e.g. paraffin or resin). This treatment enhances the beads' aesthetic appeal and can make them more comfortable to wear. Waxed beads are often available in different colors and shades, providing a more polished look. They are also smoother and can absorb the material and color of the waxing product, resulting in a unique shade after waxing. Both types of lava stone beads have their own benefits and can be used in various applications, including jewelry and diffusers for essential oils.
