Obsidian, black
What shows up when you see yourself – without filter or fear?
Black obsidian is a powerful stone often associated with protection, self-exploration and spiritual insight. It acts as a shield against negative energies and helps dissolve emotional blockages and destructive patterns – according to many crystal traditions. Obsidian is often described as the “mirror of the soul” – a stone that reflects our deepest shadows while creating space for transformation.
Many find it brings clarity to inner conflicts and strengthens mental focus, especially in times of stress and anxiety. It is said to help us identify and heal fears – even those with deeper roots.
♥ For those who have come a long way in their spiritual development and are seeking strong protection, clarity and spiritual connection, Black Obsidian can be a powerful ally. This crystal is used to advantage by those who dare to face all their shadows with openness, respect and love – in order to eventually come away stronger.
Metaphysical and esoteric properties
- Some sources call black obsidian a “psychic vacuum cleaner” – a stone that purifies negative energy and “garbage” from the auric field.
- It is said to help us confront our shadow self , resolve emotional blockages and act as a protection against external influences.
- In healing traditions, obsidian is associated with promoting grounding , providing stability under stress, and supporting self-knowledge.
- It is often connected to the root chakra , as a symbol of a foundational and secure connection to the earth.
♥ Because its energy can be experienced as very heavy and powerful, we do not recommend wearing Black Obsidian alone for "beginners" . However, it can be combined with a softer stone - to create balance and harmony in the experience.
