Black Obsidian (C)

This black obsidian point features a deep, glossy black surface with a smooth, glass-like finish. The stone may display subtle natural variations such as faint silver sheen, internal reflections, or soft translucency along thinner edges when viewed in light. Black obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly, preventing crystal growth and creating its signature sleek appearance.

Locality
Black obsidian is found in volcanic regions around the world, including Mexico, the United States, Iceland, and parts of South America. Mexican obsidian is especially well known for its consistent quality and rich, uniform color, making it a popular source for polished points and carvings.

Shape and Size
This piece is a polished crystal point with a single pointed termination, measuring approximately 3 inches tall. Crystal points are commonly used to focus, direct, and concentrate energy through the pointed tip. The upright form makes this black obsidian point well suited for meditation spaces, protective layouts, crystal grids, altar arrangements, or as a striking decorative display. The pointed shape highlights the stone’s reflective surface while maintaining a strong, grounded presence.

Metaphysical Properties
Black obsidian is often associated with protection, grounding, and energetic cleansing. It is commonly used to absorb and deflect negative energy, support emotional release, and promote clarity by bringing hidden patterns or truths to the surface. Many practitioners choose black obsidian for shadow work, grounding practices, and creating energetic boundaries.
