Obsidian Healing Stone Gemstone – Protection & Energy

🌋 What is obsidian?

Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly at very high temperatures—so rapidly that crystals cannot grow. This sudden cooling produces a smooth, glossy surface and a deep luster, which, depending on the species, can be translucent or almost pitch-black.

🌈 Rainbow Obsidian is a particularly rare variety. It contains fine layers of minerals that, when exposed to direct light, create iridescent shimmers of green, blue, violet, or gold—a fascinating natural spectacle that only becomes visible under certain lighting conditions.

🧼 How do I care for obsidian?

Obsidian is a sensitive gemstone. Here's how to care for it properly:

• 🔹 Cleaning: Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

• 🔹 Discharge: Discharge under running water or overnight on a bowl with hematite tumbled stones.

• 🔹 Recharging: Recharge in moonlight, especially during a new or full moon – ideal for its spiritual energy.

🧘 Spiritual effect:

Obsidian is considered a protective stone that wards off negative energies and reveals inner blockages. It helps recognize and release deeply hidden emotions—particularly suitable for meditation, energy work, and transformation. Rainbow Obsidian, with its colors, also brings light and hope to the heart.
