Black Obsidian is a powerful stone of protection and spiritual cleansing, bringing negative emotions to the surface.  After several uses in your daily life or during meditation, the Obsidian stone might seem dull and not as vibrant since it’s taking on all of your toxic energy.  Black Obsidian is believed to be a stone of clarity, with the ability to release emotional, physical, and spiritual blockages, drawing out stress and tension.  Obsidian is also known for clearing ancient traumas, detoxification, and encouraging personal growth.
