Obsidian

Obsidian

Obsidian is black in color, sometimes with gray or brown spots or a luster that can be gold, silver or multi-colored.

Obsidian is a strong insight-giving and cleansing stone and stimulates personal development through (self-)insight and clearing baggage from the past.

It brings the truth, the core or cause of things (or illness) and repressed and hidden experiences and emotions to the surface.

The stone can act as a mirror and helps discover who you really are but can also bring the less pleasant sides of the personality to light.

The stone reduces fear, blockages, traumas and limiting behavior and thinking patterns and promotes the flow of energy.

The stone can be very powerful and because of the strong emotions that can come up and the fact that some (self) insights can be very confronting, sensitive people should use this stone under the guidance of a therapist or choose another stone (or a softer working variant such as apache ran or snowflake obsidian).

Obsidian protects against psychic attacks, reduces negative mental or spiritual influences and absorbs negative energy from the environment (radiation, water veins, etc.).

It promotes clarity of mind and sharpens the senses. Physically, the stone has an analgesic effect, removes cramps, stimulates digestion, detoxifies and improves circulation.

The stone can therefore have a warming effect on chronically cold hands and feet.

Obsidian can be cleansed and charged in all ways.
