Gemstone Beads Strand, Natural Black Obsidian , Round, 8mm, 48 pcs

String of beads made from semi-precious stone - natural BLACK OBSIDIAN in the shape of a ball

Obsidian, which is more glass than stone, is a unique product of Mother Earth. Its use dates back to the Stone Age and is one of the first objects of organized "mining activity." Its diverse patterns create beautiful beads widely used in designer jewelry. It looks exceptionally elegant in the form of necklaces, earrings, rings, and other accessories. If you are attracted to its persistently attractive appearance, this may also be due to its energetic impact or metaphysical properties.

Black Obsidian’s metaphysical properties stem from its nature as a natural form of volcanic glass, created through the rapid cooling of volcanic lava, which results in its lack of a crystalline structure. This stone is fundamentally protective, resonating with the root chakra’s vibration, making it grounding, nourishing, purifying, and transformative. It aids in acknowledging and accepting our subconscious’s dark side, with the goal of transforming and neutralizing its influence. Black Obsidian is often hailed as the stone of truth, capable of unveiling countless secrets and mysteries both of the individual’s inner world and the universal workings. It is used to create cutting tools, such as blades and arrows, a property that also manifests metaphysically. As a potent weapon, it can pierce the veil of illusions, lies, fearsome facades, and blockages. It is an exceptionally powerful and fast-acting stone, which should be handled with care as it can bring suppressed negative emotions and unpleasant truths to the surface, confronting us before peace can be restored. Astrologically associated with the planet Pluto, known for its immense transformative power and for sweeping away all that is superfluous and the worldly illusions we cling to, Obsidian assists in this process, offering protection. Black Obsidian is a strong protective stone, forming a shield against negativity and absorbing negative energies from the environment, necessitating regular cleansing under running water. In crystal healing, it is utilized to alleviate pain from arthritis and other joint problems, relieve cramps, and aid digestion. Obsidian jewelry envelops us in its protective aura, and if we feel a magnetic attraction to this stone, enticed by the perfection of its black color, there is no need to hesitate. We are likely already under the influence of its ability to unlock intuition, and even if we might not believe it, it is precisely what we need.
