Not a true crystal at all but volcanic glass, cooled too quickly to form a mineral lattice — which is exactly why Obsidian in every color form shares the same sharp-edged, protective, deeply grounding signature.
Used for:
- Grounding scattered or anxious energy back into the body
- Shielding against negativity and psychic drain
- Encouraging honest self-reflection
- Anchoring during big transitions
A family of stones best known for looking inward — different colors, same mirror.
