Obsidian
is actually volcanic lava - as it flows out from the heat inside a volcano, some lava hits the earths surface, cools and turns
hard. The result is the formation of obsidian.
Metaphysical
properties:
The
energy of obsidian is protective, guarding and secure, reminding us to protect ourselves against the harsh words or actions
of others or from the stresses and strains of life. It's good to have around in a working environment where stress is likely
to be rife. It can also be used as tool to aid grounding, and for uniting body and spirit, bringing them into harmony and
focus.
Pieces
of polished black obsidian used to be used for scrying and our primitive ancestry favoured it for making spearheads and other
sharp implements.
