Known for: I feel like obsidian needs some amazing Lord Of The Rings style introduction, something about being forged within the bowels of the earth and thrust forth in the fire of a volcano, rapidly cooling to a glossy finish and embodying the fiery protection of earth. But that’s a bit cheesy. So, anyway, black obsidian is a strong, powerful, protective, grounding stone that’s also useful for divination and has been used as mirrors for scrying, it’s also fashioned into arrowheads. It’s also known for bringing out truth, showing and helping overcome destructive thought patterns and conditioning, it can bring things to the surface for you to deal with and helps with deep emotional healing including past lives and trauma, it absorbs and blocks negativity from the environment and geopathic stress (awesome kept next to your computer), it can be calming on stress and release tension, help with creativity and self control, bringing your subconscious to the surface, and helping you manifest.
