Black Obsidian

Protection, Truth and Luck

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. Obsidian is produced when lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth.

Obsidian can be found in locations which have experienced rhyolitic eruptions. It is mined in different places all over the world, such as the USA, Mexico, Scotland, Peru, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Turkey etc.

Pure obsidian is usually dark in appearance, though the colour varies depending on the presence of impurities.

Obsidian is hard and brittle and therefore fractures with very sharp edges. In the past, this property was used to manufacture cutting and piercing tools and weapons. It was also used by spiritualists, lightworkers, shamans, and alchemists because of its powers to heal.

Obsidian is helpful in developing intuition and grounding you to the earth, releasing negative energies that result in restlessness, irritability and nervousness.

Obsidian protects the wearer from hostility, negativity, psychic ‘vampires’ and spiritual entities that do not belong. It offers release from tension and enables one to move forward in his/her life, with a more promising outlook.

Obsidian is the stone of truth. It can help you to reveal many secrets and can answer many questions about life and love. This stone can help you cut through shatter illusions and uncover lies.
