Pahoehoe: Lava Beads Mala

Black lava beads, faceted blue and white beads with black tassel and a brass guru bead with a bit of sparkly bling.

There are multiple words for lava in the Hawaiian language. The word "pahoehoe" is derived from the Hawaiian word "hoe," meaning to paddle, possibly referring to the swirling eddies produced by paddle strokes that resemble the ropy surfaces of pahoehoe lava flows. Pahoehoe lava flow is characterized by its smooth, billowy, or ropy surface.
