Natural Coral & White Lava Bracelet

Natural Coral & White Lava Bracelet

• Visual Contrast: The bright, organic texture of natural red coral pairs against the matte, porous texture of white lava rock (often pumice).
• Symbolism & Energy:
  • Red Coral: Symbolizes vitality, protection against negative energy, and prosperity, often associated with the sea.
  • White Lava Stone: Associated with emotional healing, calming energy, and new beginnings.
  • Combined: Represents a balance between earth (lava) and sea (coral) energies.
• Functional Use: White lava beads are highly porous, making them excellent carriers for essential oil aromatherapy.
• Design Styles: Commonly found in handmade Mediterranean or Sicilian-style jewelry (often in combination with onyx or sterling silver), boho-chic necklaces, and men’s or women’s beaded bracelets.

• Natural Coral: Genuine Mediterranean red coral displays natural pores and wood-grain-like textures under magnification.
• White Lava Stone: True natural lava is typically black or brown; white “lava” stones sold commercially are generally similar porous volcanic rocks, such as pumice.
• Alternatives: Sometimes “bamboo sea coral” (dyed red) is used as a more sustainable, affordable alternative to precious coral.
