Lava Stone / Basalt
Lava stone (basalt) in lithotherapy
Lava stone is also known as basalt. It is formed by the sudden cooling of magma in contact with the air, after a volcanic eruption. Due to its volcanic origin, lava rock is often associated with the power and energy of fire. This is why lithotherapy grants it great powers.
This stone is becoming increasingly popular with stone and mineral lovers, because of the benefits it brings us, but also because of its original appearance: a beautiful black dress dotted with small craters that give it a very natural appearance.
Virtues and benefits of lava stone.
Lava stone is charged with the earth's telluric energies and has inherited a powerful magnetism that directly influences us. It is nicknamed the "stone of reconstruction" because this magnetism gives us strength and courage, helps us to evacuate negative emotions and to reconnect with joy of life and spontaneity. It is therefore a stone that is particularly recommended for people who have experienced psychological trauma, or who are struggling to go through a particularly difficult episode in their lives.
How to purify and recharge it with lava stone?
To purify your jewelry or various lava stone objects, simply immerse them for a few hours in water (ideally demineralized or slightly salted), then wipe them with a clean cloth.
To recharge them with energy, expose them to sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Reloading is faster and more efficient when the stones are placed on a quartz cluster.
Purify and refill your lava stone items about 3-4 times a year, or if you've left them in a drawer for a long time.
Lava stone and astrology.
Lava stone is not linked to a particular astrological sign, and can therefore be worn by natives of all zodiac signs, without distinction.
Lava stone according to the Kundalini Yoga doctrine.
The action of the lava stone is mainly at the level of the Muladhara chakra (1st "Root" chakra) and Manipura (3rd chakra "solar plexus").
