Obsidian

Obsidian forms through geological processes over millions of years. The unique conditions of temperature and pressure create its distinctive characteristics and crystal structure.

Understanding the geological origins helps appreciate the rarity and natural beauty of this stone.

Obsidian has long been considered a powerful stone for protection and grounding. Its reflective surface is said to act as a spiritual mirror, helping users confront their inner shadows and release negative energies. Shamans and healers have used obsidian for centuries to shield against psychic attacks and to facilitate deep healing work. While not traditionally assigned to any specific Rashi or planet in Vedic astrology, obsidian is often recommended for those seeking clarity, emotional balance, and energetic cleansing. Its energy is thought to cut through illusions and bring truth to light, making it a valuable companion for meditation and introspection.
