Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is a powerful and protective stone with deep spiritual meaning. Formed from rapidly cooled volcanic lava, it has a glassy texture and a rich, dark color. This stone is often associated with grounding, protection, and cleansing of negative energy.

 

So what does obsidian symbolize?

The Black Obsidian meaning and benefits are among the most powerful crystals for protection, but they work differently than many other protective crystals. Whereas other dark stones for protection work by shielding you from negativity, a Black Obsidian crystal brings negativity within your energy field to the surface and allows you to confront the unwanted energy you have been holding onto. By bringing your awareness to these darker energies, you can release them.

The Obsidian healing properties also protect your energy by providing a sense of grounding and security. By balancing and clearing your root chakra, Obsidian stones help to anchor you to the earth and your foundation so you can feel supported and protected.
