Obsidian is a naturally occuring volcanic glass with profound energetic protection properties. Most commonly known as Black Obsidian, this protective igneous rock forms when molten lava with a high silica content cools very quickly and is found in an array of different colors created from mineral inclusions + nanoparticle gasses that were trapped in the volcanic matrix as it cooled.
Details on the Obsidian Varieties
Snowflake Obsidian is recognized by intricate gray to white "snowflake" patterns scattered through a contrasting black obsidian matrix. The snowflakes form when silica rich molten lava cools more slowly, allowing Cristobalite to form a silicate crystal structure within the matrix.
Restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit, Snowflake Obsidian resonates with the root chakra and the third eye chakra, and supports the process of personal transformation. Crystal healing practitioners believe snowflake obsidian lets them see the dark and uncomfortable sides of their own natures, bringing them back into wholeness. As a patterned stone, it is thought to help wearers see patterns in their own thoughts and behaviors. As a transformative stone, it allows people to be released from their less healthy patterns and negative behaviors.
Black Obsidian is lustrous, inky, and mirrorlike. It's a very powerful cleansing and protective stone that resonates with the Root Chakra, offering security and grounding energy to your life. When used with intention, Black Obsidian is the best crystal to shield against negativity as it absorbs negative energies from the environment and blocks psychic attacks. Black Obsidian helps you to begin to dissolve emotional blockages and heal past traumas.
Mahogany Obsidian has Hematite, Iron or Magnetite inclusions showing in rusty red, color patterns in the black. It's protective, grounding, and helps you move past your limiting beliefs.
Mahogany Obsidian resonates with the root + sacral chakras stimulating growth, sexuality, strength, creativity, passion, + protection. This powerful grounding stone works to bring thoughts and ideas into action for the sole purpose of personal growth.
Rainbow Obsidian is characterized by a silvery-peacock iridescent sheen noticeable when held to a strong light source. The sheen comes from microscopic Magnetite nanoparticles trapped within the layers as the volcanic glass cooled during formation. The Magnetite nanoparticles cause multicolored iridescence when light hits it.
Rainbow Obsidian brings hope, illumination, and energy into the most blocked and stagnant areas of the emotional body, and grounds spiritual Light into the aura and physical body. It is a great support for alleviating depression, mood swings, despair, or paralyzing fears.
