Obsidian is a stone of protection, transformation, and deep insight. It acts as a powerful shield against negative energies and psychic attacks, creating a protective barrier around the aura. Obsidian also facilitates deep self-exploration, helping to uncover hidden emotions and unresolved issues, leading to personal growth and healing. Connected to the Root Chakra, it grounds and stabilizes the energy, providing clarity and support during times of change.
Geologically, Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooling lava, giving it a smooth, glassy texture and a range of colors from deep black to shimmering iridescent hues. It has been used since ancient times for tools and weapons due to its sharp edges and durability. Obsidian was also highly valued by many ancient cultures, including the Aztecs and the Maya, who used it in ceremonial objects and for its believed protective properties.
