Lava Stone Bracelet 8mm – Energy, Balance, Money & Positive Vibes

Because lava stone is abundant, it is very affordable. However, you should still look for quality indicators.

Quality Indicators

• Porosity: Look for stones that have visible, deep pores. If the stone looks too smooth or shiny, it might be coated in wax or plastic, which ruins its ability to hold oils.
• Bead Uniformity: High-quality bracelets use beads that are consistent in size, usually 8mm or 10mm.
• The Cord: Check the elastic. A good bracelet should use a multi-layered stretch cord that won't snap easily.

Natural Lava Stone Bracelet

You can usually find a good natural lava bracelet for $5 to $20 (₹500 to ₹1800), Bracelets that mix lava stone with "healing" crystals like Tiger’s Eye or Lapis Lazuli might cost $10 to $30 (₹800 to ₹2500)

Despite being marketed as "unisex," lava stones have an undeniably earthy and masculine aesthetic which makes them popular as men's accessories, particularly as lava stone bracelets.

How to Wear Lava Bracelet?

To use it as a diffuser, put one or two drops of your favorite essential oil (peppermint or lavender works well) onto some of the beads. Allow the oil to soak in for a minute before putting it on. The scent will slowly diffuse throughout the day as it reacts with your body heat.

Who Should Wear Lava Bracelet?

People with Stressful Jobs: The grounding nature of the stone helps keep you calm during a chaotic day.

Anyone Needing Concentration: If you are feeling a bit 'scatterbrained,' then the earth element of the stone will help you to focus in the present. 

Athletes: It is lightweight and doesn't feel cold or heavy against the skin during movement.

How to Clean & Care for Your Lava Stone Bracelet

Lava stones are tough, but their pores can trap dirt and skin oils over time.

• Cleaning: Use a bowl of warm water and a tiny bit of mild soap. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the pores. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Let it air dry completely. Do not use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can damage the elastic cord.
• Oil Buildup: If the beads stop absorbing essential oils, it’s time for a deep clean to remove the old, dried oil residue.

Buyer Beware: Avoid Fakes

Since lava stone is cheap to produce, you might wonder why anyone would fake it. Usually, "fake" lava is actually plastic or resin molded to look like stone.

1. The Weight Test: Plastic feels "warm" and very light. Real stone feels cool to the touch (initially) and has a slight weight to it.
2. The Burn Test: If you hold a flame to a bead and it smells like burning plastic or starts to melt, it’s fake. Real volcanic rock will not melt under a lighter.
3. The Coating: Many cheap sellers coat the stones in wax to make them look darker. This wax fills the pores and stops you from using essential oils. Run a bead under hot water; if it feels waxy, it's been treated.
