Black Obsidian Meaning and Metaphysical Properties
Black Obsidian is traditionally associated with the Root Chakra, stability, grounding, and shielding. For this reason, Black Obsidian crystals are used as a form of spiritual protection and are considered to be an excellent tool for dissolving negative energy, voids, and blockages. Black Obsidian is especially useful for protection against psychic attacks, evil eyes,  energy vampirism, and malicious intent. Because it is both an Earth element and Fire Element stone, Black Obsidian is known for helping us to cleanse away negative cycles and emotional suffering, keeping us mentally focused and stable so that we can move ahead with positivity. The meaning and metaphysical properties of Obsidian make it an extremely useful support stone, and it is widely considered one of the best crystals to buy, especially for beginners. Obsidian has been used throughout history and has been crafted into ceremonial knives, spear tips, and scrying mirrors, as well as protective amulets, since it is a revered gemstone across many cultures.

What is Obsidian? What Type of Rock is Obsidian?
Obsidian is an igneous rock occurring as natural volcanic glass, formed when cryptocrystalline silica minerals are held in suspension and super-cooled. This occurs during the late stages of volcanic eruption, resulting in an extremely rich silica content. Although typically black in color, Obsidian can take on splotches of reddish brown (Mahogany Obsidian), light grey (Snowflake Obsidian), or greenish-yellow, and may exhibit a sheen or shimmer due to a combination of mineral inclusion and tiny gas bubbles. These shimmery Obsidians are typically referred to as Rainbow Obsidian or Gold Sheen Obsidian, and they are highly prized by collectors, often being used to craft gemstone jewelry, crystal towers, or stone carvings. It should be noted that Marekanite (aka Apache Tears) is an Obsidianite, forming within perlite and taking on a uniquely textured surface. 

What is a Palm Stone? What is a Worry Stone?
Semi-flat round or ovular stones have been used as meditation tools and fidget toys across many cultures. Sometimes called palm stones, worry stones, fidget stones, or meditation stones, these gems are easy to hold and typically quite pleasant to rub with the thumb. Some feature a flat surface, while others are convex, and still others exhibit a thumbprint divot. The shape and style of crystal palm stones can vary widely, but the most important quality is that they should be comfortable to hold in the hand. Used as a method for grounding and stress relief, crystal palm stones can help us to release anxiety and focus on the present moment by channeling chaotic or negative energies elsewhere. The type of crystal or gemstone your worry stone is made of can also help remind you of your metaphysical intent, and assist you in connecting with the aspects of yourself most associated with that gem. By carrying your crystal palm stone with you in a pocket or pouch, you will always have a meditation tool available to you, even during times when full meditation is not possible.
