Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass with a deep luster. The stone is traditionally associated with honesty, focus, and protection.
◌ Spiritual effects +
In crystal traditions, obsidian is symbolically used as an invitation to take a clear look at what requires attention. This is a personal, spiritual interpretation and does not have any medical effect.
◍ Origin & Characteristics +
Obsidian forms when lava cools rapidly. It consists mainly of silica and has a hardness of about 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. It is found in places such as Mexico, Iceland, Armenia, and the United States.
⌂ Uses & Pairing +
Obsidian adds a striking, dark accent to a collection or interior. Pair it with rock crystal for contrast or with smoky quartz for an earthy vibe.
✧ Care +
Clean obsidian with a soft cloth. You can rinse it briefly, but dry it immediately. Protect it from drops and impacts; volcanic glass can develop sharp edges when broken.
