I have some old pieces of Lava rock i got from a LFS awile back (The big red porus ones with a big hole in the center), they where in my old saltwater aquarium, but i heard they can contain toxic metals in them.
Lava rock SW safe?

If they were in a previous tank without problem, they are likely safe. I've used lava rock without problems in my reef. I've heard people say it can cause problems, but have never talked to anyone who actually had a problem.
I have used Lava Rock quite a bit. I still have bits in my reef tanks. I have never had a problem.
never used lava, but I do use limestone from a local quarry and it hasn't caused any problems. I would guess as long as it's clean it should be fine.
