BLACK OBSIDIAN

Black obsidian is a volcanic glass that is often used in jewelry and is said to have healing properties. The name "obsidian" comes from the Latin word "obsianus," meaning "of Obsius," referring to a Roman explorer who is said to have been the first to discover the stone. Obsidian is typically black in color, but can also be found in shades of brown, gray, and green. Obsidian is believed to have a grounding effect, helping to connect the wearer to the earth and promote stability. It is also said to help with protection, both physically and emotionally. It is said to act as a shield, deflecting negative energy and protecting the wearer from harm. This makes it a popular choice for those who are feeling vulnerable or exposed.
