Lave Stone is formed from molten lava that solidifies under intense heat and pressure.  Little pockets of gas bubbles get trapped within the stone and create the holes in its porous surface.  Lava Stone has a deep connection to the Earth, as well as the element fire.  Its Earth energy strengthens our connection to Mother Earth, while its Fire energy helps guide us our spiritual transformation.  It is a highly effective grounding stone that provides strength and courage during our most tumultuous times.  Lava stone keeps us mentally stable while it guides us to a place of understanding enabling us to bounce back from any circumstance we have encountered.  It assists us by dissipating anger and fostering positive change in areas where we need it most.
