1.       By the name we can surely guess that they formed with the help of lava which is the one that is produced through the volcanos. But actually they are made from basalt that is a sort of igneous rock that forms during the volcanic eruption.

2.       Under the surface of the rising volcano, the pressure and temperature are in such a state that they are able to melt rock. This is why whenever the volcano erupts the lava brings molten rock as well. But as soon as the environment cools down everything that came out of the volcano then solidify. As a result of this, the stone beads are made. Usually, these lava beads are found in the shapes of ovals, discs, teardrops, slices, roundels and saucers as well.

3.       These stones have a porous nature which clearly means that they have got holes and bubbles in them making them light in weight as well. This makes them ideal for using in jewelry. Lava beads enhance the look of the jewelry items making them a lot more attractive and comfortable to wear as well than the usual beads.

Due to being porous, they have a rough texture. Thus, before selling out in the market or for using in jewelry they are smoothened out with paraffin wax.

2.       Because of the physical properties of the lava beads they hold a significance importance in the fashion and crafting industry.
