Black Obsidian Tumbled Stone

Black Obsidian is an opaque volcanic glass, whereas the translucent variety is called Apache Tears. Black Obsidian is sometimes known as the “wizard stone”, because it has been used in magical practices since  ancient times. It is a protective stone, often worn to guard against negativity, demanding people, hostile entities and geopathic stress.  Black Obsidian eases tension, especially in the home and can also protect against electromagnetic fields. 

Use Black Obsidian during meditation to find a creative way through problems. It is helpful in developing intuition and grounding you to the earth, releasing negative energies that result in restlessness, irritability and nervousness.  Place a piece of Black Obsidian near a nervous pets’ bed to help it feel less frightened and skittish. Black Obsidian is very helpful after trauma, especially sexual assault or domestic violence.   

Black Obsidian protects the wearer from hostility, negativity, psychic ‘vampires’ and spiritual entities that do not belong.  Black Obsidian offers release from tension and enables one to move forward in his/her life, with a more promising outlook.
