Obsidian: The Guardian Stone of Truth & Protection

Frequently called “The Guardian Stone,” Obsidian is a powerful volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth, classifying it as a mineraloid. Found only near sites of past or present volcanic activity, Obsidian comes in a stunning array of colors: black, black with white, brown, green, red, orange, yellow, silver sheen, gold sheen, rainbow, and more.

History & Cultural Significance

Obsidian derives its name from the Roman explorer Obsius, who was believed to have discovered the stone in Ethiopia. However, its use dates back far earlier—artifacts made of Obsidian have been found at the Melka Kunture site in Ethiopia, dating to 1.7 million years ago. In the Stone Age, it was prized for its sharpness and used to craft blades and arrowheads. Ancient Greeks and Romans fashioned it into mirrors, while Mayan priests used it for divination. In Aztec mythology, Obsidian was sacred to Tezcatlipoca, the “Smoking Mirror” deity. Throughout history, it has symbolized power, prophecy, and spiritual protection, and has been used in shamanic ceremonies to remove energetic blockages and physical disorder.

Proper Care & Cleansing

Obsidian is a delicate volcanic glass and should be handled with care. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals. Cleanse physically with a soft cloth and mild soap in lukewarm water—never soak it for long periods. Energetically, Obsidian benefits from regular cleansing due to its ability to absorb negativity:

• Smoke cleansing with sage or palo santo

• Moonlight charging, especially during the full moon

• Sound cleansing using singing bowls or tuning forks

• Brown rice burial for 24 hours to absorb dense energy

• Visualization: Hold the stone and imagine white light purifying it

• Clear Quartz charging: Place Obsidian on a bed of quartz overnight

Store in a padded pouch or cloth to prevent scratches and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
