Black Obsidian Beads & Pendants

 Black Obsidian is a volcanic stone, created when felsic lava cools at a rapid rate. In jewelry design, Black Obsidian is often paired with Black Labradorite or Amethyst. Hematite also works with Black Obsidian since they have similar protective symbolism. Black Obsidian matches well with both silver and gold-toned metals. The Obsidian gemstone is named for the Ancient Roman explorer and author, Obsius, who first documented this gemstone in Ethiopia in 280 BCE.

Today, Black Obsidian is sourced from North America, especially in Utah and Wyoming. The volcanic origins of this stone lead Black Obsidian to be slightly more translucent with lighter inclusions compared to Black Tourmaline or Onyx. 

This stone is very popular in the gemstone community due to its healing properties. Metaphysically, Black Obsidian is believed to enhance mental clarity and self-awareness. When used as a protective crystal, Black Obsidian is also said to block out negative energies.
