Lava stone Japa Mala.
Lava Stone is a grounding stone that strengthens one's connection to Mother Earth. It gives us strength and courage, allowing us stability through times of change. It provides guidance and understanding in situations where we may need to "bounce back". A calming stone, it is very useful in dissipating anger.
At the same time, there is a raw energy about Lava Rock, since it is born out of the fiery heat underneath the earth's surface. This energy is said to represent rebirth or renewal. Lava Rock is known for helping to promote fertility. Lava Rock beads work really well when making earrings, necklaces or bracelets.
