Black Obsidian Raw

The Black Obsidian, Raw, from Mexico - Born of fire. Shield of protection. Grounded in truth.

This Raw Black Obsidian is a striking example of Earth’s raw creative force. Formed from rapidly cooled volcanic lava, obsidian is natural volcanic glass, created when molten rock cools so quickly that crystals have no time to grow. The result is a smooth yet raw stone with a deep black, mirror-like energy and razor-sharp geological history.

Scientifically, obsidian is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), similar to quartz, but its amorphous (non-crystalline) structure sets it apart. Its formation during volcanic eruptions makes it a powerful symbol of transformation, intensity, and truth.

Spiritually, black obsidian is known as a stone of protection, grounding, and deep self-reflection. It’s believed to absorb negative energy, cut energetic cords, and reveal hidden emotional patterns. Often used for shadow work, obsidian encourages honesty, clarity, and release—making it a powerful tool for personal growth.

This raw piece is ideal for:

Energy protection and grounding

Shadow work and emotional clearing

Meditation focused on truth and transformation

Placing near entryways or workspaces

Working with the Root Chakra

Each piece is completely natural and unpolished, honouring obsidian’s volcanic origin and raw power. Shapes, edges, and textures vary—no two are alike.
