Black Obsidian Tumbled Pocket Stone

Black Obsidian doesn't sugarcoat anything — and that's exactly why it's so powerful. Formed in the intense heat of volcanic eruptions, this glassy, mirror-like stone reflects truth back to you with unflinching clarity. It's not always comfortable, but it's always honest. And sometimes, that's exactly what we need.

Metaphysical Properties

Black Obsidian is a stone of truth, protection, and deep inner work. It cuts through illusion and self-deception, helping you see yourself and your situations with radical clarity. It's a powerful psychic protector — creating a strong shield against negativity, manipulation, and psychic attack. Black Obsidian also supports shadow work, helping you bring unconscious patterns, fears, and wounds to the surface so they can be acknowledged, processed, and released. This is not a gentle stone — it's a transformative one.

Formation & Fun Facts

Black Obsidian is volcanic glass — formed when lava cools so rapidly that crystals don't have time to form. It's one of the few "stones" that is technically not a mineral at all, but a naturally occurring glass. Ancient cultures used Obsidian to make razor-sharp tools and weapons — it can be fractured to create edges sharper than surgical steel. It has been used in spiritual and ceremonial practices for thousands of years across Mesoamerica, the Mediterranean, and beyond.

Your Pocket Stone Companion

Pocket stones are personal energy talismans. Their size radiates an energy field of approximately six feet, allowing their energy to blend with your auric field and help correct any imbalances or areas where you feel depleted. Carry yours as needed, and trust your intuition. One day you may forget to put it in your pocket — that's a sign you no longer need it. At that point, place it on your altar or in a special bowl until you feel called to use it again, or gift it to someone who needs it.
