Description

Black Obsidian is a black volcanic rock, which is formed when volcanic lava cools very quickly. This rapid cooling process prevents the formation of crystals, which results in black obsidian being an amorphous rock. This means that it doesn't have a crystalline structure. Black obsidian is quite popular and can be found in many parts of the world, including the USA, Mexico, Italy and Iceland. It is known especially for its beauty and colour depth and for this reason is highly valued by jewellers. This stone is also known for its healing and protective properties. It is believed to protect against negative energies and release from negative emotions, such as anger and grief.
