Black Obsidian Rough Mexico

Black Obsidian Rough Mexico (shop SKU L8018) is offered as a raw crystal online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Obsidian is natural volcanic glass. Rainbow obsidian can show bands of color in reflected light. In crystal traditions, obsidian is associated with protection and with seeing clearly. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Mexico.
