Obsidian, a volcanic glass, was noted as early as 77 AD in "Natural History" by Pliny the Elder and has been used for weapons and tools for over 7,000 years. Its versatility and durability made it highly prized in ancient civilizations, where it was even polished to create mirrors prior to the invention of glass.
Its properties include protection, grounding, and spiritual communication. Referred to as a "psychic vacuum cleaner", Black Obsidian eliminates negative energies from one's aura and environment. This stone also offers powerful grounding frequencies and assists in psychic defense when necessary. Additionally, Obsidian can stimulate creativity and influence our daily actions. As humans, it is crucial to consistently tap into our creativity and keep it flowing, as it can become dormant if neglected. We must constantly utilize our creative energies to prevent them from becoming stagnant.
