Obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass that has been used as a gemstone since antiquity.
Formed when lava rich in feldspar and quartz cools too rapidly for crystals to form, obsidian is not classified as a true mineral.
This is because its composition is too variable and, as a glass, it lacks a crystalline structure, distinguishing it from other igneous rocks.
Obsidian, named after the Ancient Roman explorer Obsidius, who discovered it in Ethiopia, and has been prized for both its beauty and utility throughout history.
Color in Obsidian varies, depending on impurities in the parent lava formation.
Black Obsidian is a powerful grounding stone known for its ability to shield against negativity and provide strength.
It helps stabilize emotions, absorb negative energies, and promote emotional healing by confronting hidden truths and deep insecurities, fostering spiritual growth.
>Many use Obsidian to remove energy blocks and bring new life to their goals.
It is also valued for its physical benefits, such as relieving pain, calming the nervous system, and supporting those suffering from depression or addiction.
Black Obsidian is considered a durable material and can be safely cleaned using a soft cloth and soapy water.
Soap residue can build up on it, so rinse well and polish after.
As with most gemstones, ultrasonic cleaners and steamers are not recommended.
Take care to store Obsidian in a soft case away from hard objects as it can be easily scratched.
