Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian
The stone of truth, deep release, and energetic protection.

Black Obsidian is a mirror to the soul — it reflects what’s hidden and asks you to face it with courage. It’s powerful for shadow work, energetic clearing, and protection from emotional and psychic intrusion. This is a no-nonsense crystal — direct, intense, and transformational.

Science
Black Obsidian is volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava. It has a glassy, opaque texture and ranks around 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale. It fractures easily and can form sharp edges, both physically and energetically.

Locality
Found in Mexico, the United States, Iceland, Japan, and Armenia. Mexican Black Obsidian is most commonly used in metaphysical work.

Chakra
Strongly connects to the Root Chakra and Earth Star Chakra. Offers deep grounding and energetic protection.

Zodiac
Supports Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn for truth-seeking and transformation.

Element
Earth and Fire — grounding and catalytic. Helps burn through illusion and ground the truth.

Crystal Energy
Black Obsidian clears what you’re ready to face — and sometimes what you didn’t realise you were carrying. It brings up truth, emotional baggage, and unconscious patterns for release. Not a soft stone, but a deeply necessary one for those ready to do real inner work.

Use with intention and respect, especially in shadow work, cord-cutting, or ritual protection. It provides strong boundaries while helping you process the roots of fear, anger, or unresolved grief.

Black Kyanite
The stone of energetic clearing, psychic protection, and deep reset.

Black Kyanite acts like a broom for the energy field — sweeping out residue, attachments, and blockages with clarity and precision. It is especially helpful for cord cutting, chakra clearing, and resetting your field after intense emotional or energetic interactions.

Science
Black Kyanite is an aluminium silicate mineral with a bladed, fan-like formation. Unlike other stones, it does not hold or accumulate negative energy, making it a self-cleansing tool. Hardness ranges from 4.5 to 7 depending on direction.

Locality
Sourced from Brazil, Mexico, and the USA. Brazilian Black Kyanite is widely available in raw, fan-like clusters.

Chakra
Aligns with all chakras but is especially grounding to the Root and protective for the entire energetic field.

Zodiac
Supports Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aries — especially in energetic boundary-setting and psychic work.

Element
Air and Earth — clears space and strengthens energetic roots.

Crystal Energy
Black Kyanite cuts through energetic noise with clarity. It’s ideal for moments when your field feels heavy, cluttered, or “off.” Whether you’ve taken on someone else’s energy or simply need to clear emotional build-up, this crystal brings quick reset.

Use it in energy clearing rituals, over chakras, or as a boundary-strengthening tool after draining conversations or crowded spaces. It’s especially helpful for empaths, intuitives, and healers who work closely with others' energy.
