Black Crystals (31)

Obsidian is a result of volcanic molten lava cooling so fast it did not have time to crystalize, so it is a form of natural glass. Thus, energetically it works very quickly and powerfully. Like a mirror, nothing can be hidden, so all is revealed including things one might not want to look at. As such it is a force for catharsis and growth by promoting compassion & strength. At the same time, Obsidian provides protection, grounding, and calming effects to heal from trauma, especially for sensitive people. It repels negativity and channels power into good.Cabochon shape is typically slightly domed and polished on one side, and flat unpolished on the opposite side. So pretty and ready to go for a beautiful, one-of-a-kind pendant, earrings or other handcrafted jewelry. You can either set the oval in a bezel, wire wrap or drill. It is also wonderful carried as a tiny palm stone or "worry" stone.
