Monastic Bracelet with Lava Beads (MN-HND-0470)

Monastic, knitted bracelet from Mount Athos, with a metal cross and beads of lava and hematite. It has sliding cords that adjust the diameter to fit more easily on the wrist. Lava stone is formed when molten volcanic lava cools and solidifies. It is typically found in black and dark grey shades, with a porous surface that gives it a distinctive, natural appearance. Its name reflects its volcanic origin and the process through which it forms. Used since ancient times to create tools and various objects, lava stone is now particularly popular in jewellery making.
