Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass and is known as the warrior stone. Centuries ago, it was used to make blades and later jewellery. It has two powerful benefits; first it is a strong protective stone able to expel and repel negative energies. Secondly it is a psychic clearer, able to clear your mind, release toxic thoughts and allow you to let go of negative emotions. Use in meditation, to clear negative energy from a space before rituals, wear as an amulet or carry for protection. Avoid cleansing in salt water.

 Raw stones are in their natural form, no polishing, no altering. They are more fragile and can break more easily than other formations. Some prefer the look of a raw stone as that is how it would have been found in the Earth.

We will select your Raw Black Obsidian Shard intuitively, with love and care! Minor variations exist between each unique piece, but all are very similar in their beautiful and solid, polished shiny black colour.

**Caution: These pieces are sharp as they are broken pieces of volcanic glass. Be careful when touching them.
