Crystal Composition & Energy:

Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools rapidly, leaving no time for crystals to grow. Its glassy appearance reflects its volcanic beginnings.

In crystal traditions, Black Obsidian is associated with protection, grounding and truth. It is often chosen for reflective work, encouraging you to recognise old patterns and approach what you discover with honesty and compassion.

The tower shape is traditionally used to focus intention through its point, making it a popular centrepiece for crystal grids and meditation.
