Physical Characteristics: This semi-translucent obsidian has bands of darker and lighter colors. Obsidian is a silica volcanic stone with a hardness of 5 - 6. It resembles glass and occurs in several colors, the most common of which is black. Like glass, it often breaks with sharp edges, and has been used in tool-making for arrowheads, knives, etc. These pieces have been carved into the shape of a heart, with a hole drilled through the top to enable it to be strung onto a chain or a leather strip. There may be a clever way to insert a tiny LED light, which would really show off the dark/light banding!

Metaphysical Properties: Obsidian is excellent for grounding, connecting the root chakra to the heart of the earth. It can protect against negative energies, and is very useful for healing.

Please Note: The price, weight, and measurements are all the same for each option. But since each piece is unique, the option picture will show various views of the same piece for that option. Some of the views are backlit to show the light and dark banding better. The makeshift "stand" is NOT included!
