Description
Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass from Mexico. Obsidian
is named after Obsius, a Roman man who discovered it in
ancient Ethiopia. Obsidian was used by ancient cultures as a
chief barter material. It was prized for its ability to be worked
into sharp edges for arrows and spears. It has also been used
since prehistoric times for making tools, masks, weapons, mirrors
and jewelry. Black obsidian is a powerful protection stone which
blocks negative energies and guards against over-sensitivity by
strengthening one’s own energy field. Obsidian also symbolizes
self-control and resilience.
