That porosity is the whole point: it makes the beads unusually light for their size, matt black rather than glossy, and \u003cstrong\u003eabsorbent\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat last property gives lava bead bracelets a real, practical use that most decorative stones do not have: they hold a drop of essential oil and release the scent slowly over hours. A lava bracelet is, in effect, a wearable diffuser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it with essential oils — and one safety point\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut one drop onto \u003cstrong\u003eone or two beads on the outer face\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bracelet, not all round and not on the side against your skin. Let it soak in for a minute before wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe safety point: essential oils should not sit undiluted against skin for hours. That is exactly the pattern — repeated, prolonged contact with the same patch of skin — that sensitises people to oils they previously enjoyed. Keeping the oil on the outward-facing beads solves it entirely. And avoid citrus oils, most of which are phototoxic, on anything worn on the wrist in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasalt is Mohs 5 to 6 and porous. It absorbs oils permanently, so a bracelet used with strong oils will eventually carry a background scent of everything it has ever had on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo health claim for any mineral or essential oil is authorised or supported by evidence, and none should replace medical care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foliesbijoux","offers":[{"title":"6 mm","offer_id":45540806197271,"sku":"woh1789993982365","price":6.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/9858\/2807\/files\/lava-stone-bracelet-a_1.jpg?v=1789993986","url":"https:\/\/foresthiker.shop\/products\/lava-stone-bracelet-a","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
