About Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools too quickly to crystallize. For thousands of years it has been shaped into blades, arrowheads, and scrying mirrors, valued as much for its cutting edge as for its reflective darkness. In the metaphysical tradition it is a stone of honest confrontation, protective and grounding, favored by those doing deep inner work.
