About Obsidian
Obsidian is a stone that was essential to Ancient Mayans and Aztecs. It was used for everything from utensils, to jewellery, to weapons and was considered more valuable than gold.
Due to its sharpness, it was thought that obsidian could pierce even darkness to reveal truth itself. For this reason, it was polished and used for scrying purposes; their way of seeing the future. Obsidian still carries the meaning of being a weapon and shield against darkness to this day.

Psychological Healing Properties
Do you experience pain from grief, trauma, depression or mental stress?
In life we’re told that mental pain shouldn’t bother us, since it’s “all in your head” anyway. There is little sympathy for someone suffering because of grief, bullying, insults, lies or emotional abuse.
But the reality is that mental pain can be just as debilitating as physical pain and depression often leaves people bedridden or completely unable to function in day to day life.
Obsidian can be your greatest weapon and shield against this darkness. Obsidian’s gift is the ability to form an impenetrable psychic shield that can defend you from emotional pain, grief and trauma.
Obsidian also has the ability to draw out and absorb negative energy from the body, reducing mental stress, tension, depression and shock from trauma.
Obsidian is also frequently used for divination and magic. It can help you to integrate the psychic shadow (dark side) of your personality, which will unlock untapped abilities.
Physical Healing Properties
Suffering from joint pain, cramps, cold hands and feet or poor digestion?
These conditions are often caused by a build-up of toxins in the body that reduce blood and energy flow through the body.
In the same way that Obsidian can draw out negative mental energy, it can also help the removal of toxins from the body. Once these toxins are removed, the body is able to regulate itself more easily.
Try placing Obsidian on or near your root chakra, or carrying Obsidian with you, you may be surprised by how different you feel after a few days or weeks of detoxification.
