Chakra Crystal Bracelet (with Lava Beads)

This elasticated bracelet is made up of black lava beads, plus seven crystal beads that are used to represent each of the chakras. Each crystal bead has been chosen because of its colour and the qualities that the crystal may posses. The bold colours against the black lava beads give the bracelet a lovely effect throughout the contrast. Each chakra bead is smooth and the bracelet itself is very comfortable to wear, they are very similar to our power bracelets.

Lava Beads & Essential Oils
Did you know lava beads can be used with your favourite essential oils? Lava beads are exactly as they sound, they are formed from molten rock, which is slowly cooled underground to make a type of igneous rock called basalt rock. These rocks are porous and lightweight, which makes them perfect for use in jewellery, and aromatherapy. The heat from your body allows the lava beads to work their magic, by allowing the essential oil to slowly evaporate and diffuse through the area.

Excellent as an alternative to perfume, if you're looking to cut back on the use of chemicals, create custom blends, and certain essential oils such as citrus, thyme and peppermint are great as insect repellants!

Simply add 1-2 drops of your favourite essential oil to each lava bead; the best way to do this is to add the oil either to your finger or a cotton swab and rub this on the beads. Similarly an essential oil roller bottle can be used on them. Allow the oil to soak for a few minutes before wearing. The length of time that the oil will last will be dependent on how much is used, the type and the quality of oil. The scent can last anywhere from a couple of hours, to a day, and can be reapplied as necessary.

Please note, that as will most essential oil use on the skin, you may want to dilute your essential oil with a carrier oil first to reduce the risk of a skin reaction. Testing with a small amount first is always advised, and care should always be taken. Essential oils may stain fabric.

Sizing of Beads: Each bead is identical in size and are approximately 7mm in diameter.
