Black Obsidian Health Pendant

Black Obsidian is a powerful gemstone full of depth. The name comes from the Roman discoverer Obsius, who found this shiny black volcanic glass-like stone. Obsidian is formed when lava cools very quickly and does not have time to form crystals. This creates a stone that resembles glass, pure nature, straight from the earth. Black Obsidian has been used for centuries by various cultures, including in Mexico and the Middle East, as a protective and cleansing stone.

General operation

Black Obsidian is, above all, a stone that brings insight. Its power lies in stimulating your personal development through deep self-insight. The stone helps you to look within yourself, including at those aspects you sometimes prefer to avoid. In this way, the stone acts as a powerful spiritual mirror. And that isn’t always pleasant.

Black Obsidian helps you clear away old baggage from the past: fears, blockages, traumas and old patterns that hold you back in life. Sometimes the stone actually brings these patterns to the surface, so that you can see through them and let them go. This can be intense, as it may bring emotions to the surface. That is why it is important that you are well balanced and feel safe whilst working with Black Obsidian.

Do you feel vulnerable or not quite grounded yet? If so, only use this stone under supervision, or opt for its gentler counterpart: Snowflake Obsidian. This stone has a gentler effect and helps you work through blockages in a gentle way. It promotes clarity of mind and sharpens your senses.

In short, Black Obsidian is a powerful yet valuable gemstone. It helps you to let go of old patterns, get your energy flowing again and make room for growth, balance and new possibilities in your life.
