How to determine if a bracelet is made from genuine lava stone?

In my recent blog, I explored how to ascertain if a bracelet is made from authentic lava stone. I found that real lava stones have a rough texture and are lightweight. Their porous surface can absorb essential oils, which synthetic stones can't do, adding another layer to their authenticity test. I also discovered that genuine lava stones are not perfectly round or uniform in color. Finally, a significant price difference typically exists between real and fake lava stones, with the genuine ones being more expensive.

Can I use tennis rackets for snow shoes?

While it may seem like an innovative idea, using tennis rackets as snow shoes isn't advisable. The structure of a tennis racket isn't built to distribute a person's weight over snow, unlike actual snow shoes which are designed for that purpose. Furthermore, tennis rackets can easily be damaged due to the pressure and cold temperatures. Not to mention the fact that walking on tennis rackets can be quite unstable and unsafe. So, for your safety and the longevity of your sports equipment, stick to using each item for its intended purpose.
