Black Obsidian

Written By Aleksandra Fullman

Black Obsidian is volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava, found in Mexico, Iceland, and the U.S. It has been used since ancient times for mirrors, blades, and scrying, making it a stone of truth, shadow work, and powerful protection.

Black Obsidian is associated with:

  • Shadow integration: Reveals hidden emotions and patterns.

  • Truth-seeing: Cuts through illusion and denial.

  • Psychic shielding: Protects during deep spiritual work.

  • Cord cutting: Helps sever unhealthy attachments.

How to Use Black Obsidian

  • Gaze into it during self-reflection or scrying.

  • Use in rituals for releasing toxic ties or past trauma.

  • Place near mirrors or thresholds for energetic protection.

The Vibe

Black Obsidian feels like a dark mirror that never lies. Intense, honest, transformative.
