Obsidian is one of the most important stones for pre-Hispanic Nahuatl and Toltec cultures, it represented people who come from the North, the wisdom of knowledge and the reflection of the soul.

Properties of obsidian:

*purification, protection, liberation*

 Obsidian is best known for its protective properties. Liberating and purifying, it acts like a mirror, chasing away negative energies.

However, we know less that obsidian is a healing stone that releases emotional blockages. Coming from the vitrification of molten lava, obsidian represents the perfect balance between yin and yang. Obsidian is a stone of truth [acts as a kind of mirror]. Personal preparation is necessary to wear obsidian, because it releases deep things, where we need to move forward.

Obsidian is particularly powerful. Black, in the West, is associated with mourning, anxiety, unease. In Mexico, black is the color of knowledge and wisdom, of true birth and the highest degree of consciousness. Firmly connected to Mother Earth, obsidian sharpens our vision and chases away our illusions. It promotes positive thoughts.
