Obsidian History and Uses:

Obsidian derives its name from an ancient Roman explorer called Obsius who was given a mystical black glass sphere from a volcano by an Ethiopian woman called Xenia. Obsidian has been used since Paleolithic times for making tools because it holds a sharp edge.

Obsidian Geological Description:

Obsidian is a glassy, silica-rich rock formed from fast-cooling lava, with a hardness of 5 to 5.5. It is an amorphous stone meaning that its structure contains no regular geometric pattern. The “snowflake” pattern is made from white crystal inclusions trapped in the lava as it cooled.

Affirmation: In my process of evolution I call on the Universe and all friends in spirit to show me everything I need to see for my healing and awakening.
