Fuji Lava Stone is a variety of lava that crystallized from the eruption of Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest volcano, in 1707. The magma spewed from this active site from December 16, 1707 to February 24, 1708. It is believed that 2 earthquakes in 1703 and 1707 caused the volcanic activity, which spread ash and landslides throughout eastern Japan. Since then, Mt. Fuji has gone dormant but is expected to become active once again. Since becoming a UNESCO world cultural heritage site in 2013, collecting or taking anything off the mountain is prohibited. This has made Fuji Lava Stone very rare and difficult to acquire, with most pieces coming from old collections or fragments that have been naturally moved by the elements.
Just by glancing at any Lava Rock piece, you can see how it is a true fragment of Mother Earth. It is a tiny sliver of her physical shell yet contains some of the most abundant energy she has to offer. Lava Rock is a representation of the blood our home planet sacrificed to create a livable biome. The energy encased within Lava Rock is raw and primal. At one time, this tough stone was a free-flowing liquid that ebbed and flowed with its environment. This form of earth’s energy was so powerful it devastated anything in its path yet left a fresh layer to start anew. This is one of the many effects that this small piece of Earth can have on you. One will stop existing within this plane and transform into the primordial being that we know is within. Lava Rock pushes one to have a breakthrough and to ultimately transform their entire life. Working with this stone can bring the real you to the surface and lay fresh ground for you to plant your roots.
All of us have a fire inside and it is our destiny to ignite it. More importantly, one must be able to find what it is that really gets you out of bed each day. These small actions describe the life that you would like to live and the massive change that's required to achieve it. Lava Rock directs your internal desires to your second brain (your gut), which houses your incredible will that is needed to maintain your happiness. Place this stone directly over your navel while meditating and allow the most delicate of energies to be pulled out by this crystal. You will know the feeling once these emotions begin to take flight. Success takes hard work and Lava Rock pulls the hard-worker out of you.
Our root chakra is responsible for our connection to this physical plane. By activating it through a crystal’s energy and meditation, one can root themselves and bring forth higher energies, thoughts, and feelings. As the stone’s “grounding” effect takes place, one will notice a slow release of control. This is all a part of the process to slow yourself down and live in the moment. Our heads are distracted continuously each day by nonsense and energy-wasting thoughts. Lava Rock helps extinguish those ideas and provide a clean slate for us to begin imaging from the soul.
