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 magic. 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 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.
These tumbled stones are natural Obsidian, a volcanic glass, and consequently may feature small dips, pits, or chips as pictured.
