Physical Characteristics: 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. This black Obsidian has been tumbled to remove all sharp edges and is perfect for a medicine pouch, though it may get scratched by harder stones. It is from Mexico.
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 photos show different views of the same sample stones. I will use my intuition to pick the piece that will be sent to you. That piece may or may not be shown in the pictures. Please help me to pick the perfect stone by letting me know your intention for the piece in the comment section during checkout. Since the pieces are all of similar size and weights, there are no options to pick.
