Lava Rock beads are, as their name suggests, a type of porous rock.

Their irregular shape and sponge-like texture, make them an interesting element in jewellery design.

Lava Rock beads are typically made from cooled down molten rock (Basalt, an igneous rock). In order for rock to melt, it has to reach temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius beneath a volcano.

Most commonly Lava beads appear in black or grey, however they can be dyed different colours too.
