Obsidian Crystals

Obsidian crystals are a naturally-occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It often forms when lava cools so quickly that no crystals have time to grow, lending it a uniform texture. Although obsidian is typically black and shiny in appearance, it can also be brown, red, and even green. This natural glass can be found in the same locations as other lava-derived rocks such as pumice and scoria.

Obsidian has been used to create everything from tools and weapons to jewelry and art. It was even used as a currency in some cultures. Today, obsidian is still popular for its aesthetic value and is used in a variety of applications, including jewelry making, crafts, and even architecture. Obsidian is an extremely hard and brittle rock, which makes it difficult to work with. It can, however, be cut and shaped into a variety of objects using a polishing wheel or lapidary saw. When broken, obsidian produces extremely sharp edges, which is why it was historically used to create knives and arrowheads.

Obsidian crystal is said to be a very grounding and protective stone. It is known for its ability to shield the wearer from negative energy and psychic attacks. Obsidian crystal is also known for its healing properties. It is said to help detoxify the body, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.
