Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed from molten lava that cools very rapidly. This Black Obsidian is tumbled and opaque (dense, light cannot penetrate) with a very smooth and shiny finish.

Black Obsidian is a grounding stone that provides an instant connection from the Root Chakra deep into the core of the Earth. Black Obsidian will help to clean and remove negative energies in a sacred space or environment. It also assists in releasing those emotions/reactions that cause negative energy such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc. Once these energies are removed/released, Black Obsidian will help to keep the space protected.

Black Obsidian is used for healing and releasing energy blockages, and has a tendency to work quickly to move truths to the surface to be resolved. This allows both healer and subject a unique clarity as to initial cause of the issue, so that it can be dealt with. If you have a physical illness, that you believe has an emotional cause, Black Obsidian could be the fastest way to discover the cause, but you must be willing to face it and ready to correct it.

Black Obsidian can be very intense and one must be ready to confront their issues when working with this stone. Healers may use Black Obsidian to help those unable or unwilling to let go of the past. Black Obsidian can also be used for gazing, along with Quartz, to help make sense of any images or ideas gleaned from it. Using Black Obsidian can bring great foresight in this capacity. To gaze with Black Obsidian, choose a quiet environment with soft lighting, get into a relaxed state, and gently gaze at the stone. Remain open to any images or insights that come into your mind. Carrying or wearing Black Obsidian assists in dispersing negativity around the physical, mental, emotional, and spirit bodies. Place Black Obsidian in a home, office, or sacred space to remove any unwanted energies and keep the area free of negativity.
