Pele's hair - big jar

Delicate, rare, and otherworldly, Pele’s Hair is one of nature’s most fascinating volcanic formations. These fine, glass-like threads are created when droplets of lava are stretched into thin strands as they cool—resembling strands of hair.

The Pele’s Hair in this jar originates from the historic 1918 Katla eruption in South Iceland. Recycled and reborn through the fiery spectacle of Lava Show, each piece carries the living story of Iceland’s volcanic power.

In Icelandic, Pele’s Hair is called “Nornahár” (Witches’ Hair)—a name that reflects both its fragile beauty and its mythical aura.
