Black Obsidian Pyramid No5

Physical
Used in past Shamanic ceremonies to "travel" to the affected part of the body and to remove physical disorders by bringing them to the surface and turning them into white light. Black Obsidian is an excellent grounding stone. It is also both protective and stabilising.

Mental/Emotional
Black Obsidian is excellent at bringing any emotional imbalance to the surface so that other stones and crystals may help to clear it away. It helps us to find the hidden factors surrounding a situation so that we may take the best course of action to address that situation. It helps us to retain our balance in times of change. Black Obsidian is also very good for helping us to let go of the past and breaking past habits that are no longer useful. It inspires creativity and promotes sincerity.

Spiritual
Traditionally, Black Obsidian was the stone used for "gazing" or "scrying" and can provide us with an insight into the future. It helps to strengthen our power of prophecy.
