Introduction - Lava Stone, (also known as Basalt, or Lava Rock) is an igneous volcanic rock.  There are various types of lava rock, such as Basalt, Obsidian, Andesite, and Rhyolite. During its metaphosis transition the stone has solidified from molten lava, after conditions of intense heat and pressure. It allows one the opportunity for stability throughout changes in their life. Lava stone is, in essence, the solid form of fire. It is therefore a stone that is associated with the phoenix and rebirth. It is a strong stone that helps with achieving our goals. As it is of the earth, lava stone is reputed to assist the wearer to be more in tune with Mother Earth. As these stones also contain the powerful energy of the volcano that created them, this means that they are excellent to aid healing... especially when you are feeling depressed or lacking energy.Lava rocks are composed of high amounts of iron and magnesium elements (collectively referred to as the ferromagnesian group) as well as calcium. Due to their chemical composition, basalts are the most abundant rock type of the ocean floor and Earth's crust, and are the primary rock layer of the Hawaiian Islands.
