RafaLava can burn most materials it comes into contact with, but there are some things that can resist its heat, such as certain types of metals like steel or ceramics designed for high temperatures. Additionally, large bodies of water or very wet materials can sometimes cool down and solidify the lava before it can burn them.

Can lava melt a person standing in it?
Yes, lava is extremely hot, reaching temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. If a person were to come into contact with lava, they would suffer severe burns and likely be fatally injured. It would essentially cause the person to burn and melt upon contact.
How come lava doesn't burn Igneous rocks?
Ignoues rock is not flammable, therefore it does not burn. In order to melt the igneous rock, the lava must transfer an enormous amount of heat to it. However, lava will quickly lose heat to its surroundings and will generally cool before it can do this.
Is there anything that lava doesn't melt or burn or destroy?
Plenty of metals have high enough melting points that they would not melt in lava.
What happens if you touch lava?
If lava Touches you your skin will burn to the bone and you could even have to have amputation on whatever limb it touches you or if it touches an inturnal organ this could be fatal..
What cant lava go through?
Lava can't go through anything that has a melting point higher than its current temperature. Magma is the same as lava except it is underground. If the pressure of an object is increased, then its melting point will also increase, so lava might not be able to go through plastic under certain conditions which will never occur.
