Scientific Description:
Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools rapidly without crystallizing. Its smooth, reflective surface and jet-black color have made it a protective and decorative stone since ancient times. While it is not a crystal in the traditional sense, its composition of silica-rich volcanic material gives it a strong grounding energy.

Metaphysical Properties:
Black Obsidian is a powerful protective stone, known for its ability to shield against negativity and absorb dense energy from the environment. It is often used for grounding, truth-seeking, and releasing emotional blockages. This stone is said to bring clarity by revealing hidden truths, encouraging deep self-reflection, and supporting spiritual transformation. Black Obsidian also helps cut energetic cords, making it a valuable tool for healing and releasing the past.
