What Is Black Obsidian?
Black Obsidian is natural volcanic glass — formed when felsic lava cools so rapidly that crystals cannot form. Its smooth, mirror-like surface has been used for scrying (vision-seeking) since the Stone Age. Aztec and Mayan civilizations crafted it into mirrors and ritual blades. Today, it's revered as a powerful protective and truth-revealing stone — it doesn't sugarcoat. Set in solid 925 sterling silver, this pendant brings ancient volcanic energy to modern daily wear.
Healing Properties & Benefits
Protection & Psychic Shielding: Black Obsidian creates a powerful energetic shield. Unlike Tourmaline (which transmutes negativity), Obsidian reflects it — making it especially effective for highly sensitive people, therapists, and anyone in emotionally demanding roles.
Truth & Self-Discovery: Obsidian is known as the "Stone of Truth." It brings hidden emotions, patterns, and beliefs to the surface — not always comfortably, but always for your growth. Excellent for therapy, journaling, shadow work, and honest self-reflection.
Grounding at the Heart: Worn as a pendant at the heart center, it creates a profound grounding effect — pulling scattered mental energy down into the body for embodied presence. This makes it a favorite among meditators and those recovering from trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Black Obsidian too intense for daily wear?
For most people, no — it provides a steady, grounding presence. However, if you're going through a period of intense emotional processing, you might find it surfaces things faster than you're ready for. In that case, alternate with a gentler stone like Lepidolite or Rose Quartz, or wear it only during therapy/meditation sessions. Trust your own experience — there's no one-size-fits-all rule.
How can I tell if Black Obsidian is real?
Real Obsidian is volcanic glass — it has a distinct glassy luster, feels cool, and may show slight translucence at thin edges. It fractures conchoidally (curved, shell-like). Fake versions are usually black-dyed glass, which looks too perfectly uniform under magnification. Our stones are sourced from Mexican volcanic deposits and visually verified.
What's the difference between Black Obsidian and Black Tourmaline — which should I choose?
Black Tourmaline transmutes negative energy (converts it); Black Obsidian reflects and reveals (shows you the truth, then shields). Choose Tourmaline for daily protection without emotional intensity. Choose Obsidian if you're ready for deep personal work and honest self-confrontation. Both are powerful — the choice depends on what you're seeking: protection or truth.

About this Black Obsidian pendant
What exactly is this pendant made from?
Genuine Black Obsidian (Mexican volcanic origin). Volcanic glass - not a crystalline mineral (Mohs hardness 5-5.5). Every piece is inspected by hand before it ships. Treatments that are standard in the trade — heat-treated amethyst sold as citrine is the classic example — are explained in our material & treatment guide.
What chain does it come on?
Adjustable sterling silver chain (18-20 inch / 45-50 cm). Setting: Solid 925 Sterling Silver, nickel-free. The chain length is adjustable, so it can sit at the collarbone or a little lower.
Where do the stones come from?
Brazil, India, Madagascar and Inner Mongolia — varies by stone. Stone is bought in batches, so the exact locality can differ from one piece to the next; where a single origin is given in the specification table above, that is the origin for this batch.
Can I wear it every day, or in water?
Everyday wear is fine, but take it off for swimming, showering, sport and heavy manual work. Chlorine and salt water are hard on silver, and a knock against a hard edge does more damage than a year of normal wear.
How should I care for it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and polish the silver with a silver cloth when it dulls. Keep it away from perfume, hairspray and chlorine, and store it in the pouch provided so it does not scratch against other jewellery. See our crystal care guide.
