Lava Stone Bracelet >><<The beads in a chakra bracelet can be made of many materials, but the colors are very important. Each of the chakras is represented by a color — violet/white, indigo, light blues, green/pinks, yellows/browns, orange, and reds. The only essential feature of a chakra bracelet is that its wearer understands its significance. Not every rainbow colored bracelet is a chakra bracelet, but all bracelets colored this way can be worn as chakra bracelets and thereby achieve the intended balancing and healing effects.
