Black Obsidian
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed by the rapid cooling of molten lava. It is characterized by its smooth, reflective surface and glassy appearance. Obsidian forms when lava cools too quickly for mineral crystals to form, resulting in a dense, homogeneous material with a hardness similar to quartz.
Obsidian has been used by humans for millennia for various purposes, including making tools, weapons, and jewelry. It is also valued for its spiritual properties, with many cultures using obsidian for protection, grounding, and dispelling negativity.
There are many different types of obsidian, each with its unique properties and colors, such as black obsidian, snowflake obsidian, rainbow obsidian, and mahogany obsidian. Obsidian can also be shaped and carved into various forms, making it a popular material for statues and decorative items.

Why do crystals need to be cleansed?
Every time you receive or buy a crystal, it needs to be cleansed of energy, as it is full of other people's energy, whether good or bad.
How to cleanse it of negative energy?
Obsidian needs to be cleansed regularly as it absorbs energy very quickly.
Black obsidian can be submerged in water, so you can cleanse it in water. By this, I mean you can cleanse it in a nearby stream, or bring a bottle of water home and cleanse it there. Just be careful not to use salt water. Let the black obsidian sit in water for at least one minute.
You can place it in the sun and leave it there for at least 4 hours, or expose it to moonlight. Place it on a windowsill when there is a new or full moon, but be careful not to place it outside, as this can damage the crystals. Leave the crystals overnight, and they will be cleansed by morning.
Black obsidian can also be cleansed with the smoke of sage, lavender, and other herbs, which you burn in a fireproof dish and slowly, with positive thoughts, wave around the crystal, doing this for at least 30 seconds per crystal. If you don't like this method, you can also place the crystal in herbs and leave it there for 5 minutes.
Can it be exposed to sunlight?
Black obsidian can be exposed to sunlight.
How is it used?
Black obsidian is used gradually, as it is a very powerful crystal. Use it when you want quick results, as it cools down situations very quickly and absorbs energy in that moment, then retains it until you cleanse it. Black obsidian can reflect things about you that you perceive as negative.
Black obsidian can often be bought in smaller, unprocessed pieces.
You can also find it in other forms with us.
A sphere represents wholeness, competitiveness, and fills a space with energy.
