Obsidian

Obsidian

The Protection Stone

As a stone that emerges with dramatic force from the depths of the earth, obsidian is believed by many to bring hidden emotions to the surface. This makes it extremely useful in releasing long-held stresses and buried traumas.

Obsidian is found only in volcanic areas, where it forms from rapidly cooled lava. Born from the fire within the heart of the planet, obsidian can bring a strong sense of determination to conquer fear and face reality in a practical, grounded, and courageous way.

In general, Obsidian is a very grounding and protective stone. It is used as a great cleanser of negative energies, helping to remove not only negativity experienced in the environment, but also that of one’s own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc. Obsidian is often used for healing and releasing energy blockages, and has a tendency to work quickly to move truths to the surface to be resolved.

Energy: transmuting, deep, hidden

Colours: black transparent or semi-transparent, flecked with white or striped

Uses: Volcanic stone for protection and working with the shadow self. Obsidian sharpens inner and outer vision. Used for divination (obsidian mirrors), ritual tools, past life regression, good luck, letting go of old patterns and memories, and in ceremony and ritual.
