Black Lava Stone, Larvikite, Black Tourmaline & Hematite 

Lava stones are wonderful for calming the emotions. Because the stones come from raw energy, they're considered to represent rebirth and shedding unneeded layers of emotional attachment. Fire’s physical embodiment is the Lava Stone. It is the only rock known to be formed from nothing but fire thus, providing strength and power. For someone who has difficulty making decisions, or perhaps timid, the Lava Stone provides them strength and clear thinking. It's recommended you wear your lava stone as close to the skin as possible. This allows better absorption, giving it easier access so that the energy can flow. To clear negative emotions, it's said you should wear a bracelet so that the stones are close to your pulse.
