Black Obsidian Tumbled Stone – 2-3cm – Protection & Grounding
Black Obsidian – Protection. Grounding. Truth.
Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, formed when lava cools rapidly. It has been used for centuries as a powerful protective stone, a tool for self-reflection, and a shield against negativity.
Unlike crystalline stones, obsidian is glass, smooth, glossy, and intensely reflective. Its darkness is not empty; it is a mirror.
