Black Obsidian Crystal Palm Stone VG59
- Material: Black Obsidian
- Product Type: Palm Stone

1. Origin
Black obsidian is natural volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly; it is not a crystalline mineral. It comes from volcanically active areas such as Mexico, the United States, Iceland, Italy (Lipari), Turkey and Armenia. This item is a palm stone, supplied per the product page as a set of 7 to 10 pieces.
2. History
Obsidian has been used since the Stone Age for blades, arrowheads and scrapers. In the first century AD the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder recorded the material and reportedly linked its name to a finder called Obsius, and its deep lustre has since made it a popular material for ornaments and carvings.
3. Usage
The product page notes that the shape fits naturally in the hand, making it an ideal tool for energy work, grounding exercises and personal rituals, and that its glossy black surface reveals subtle textures so each piece is unique. Obsidian is fairly hard with a smooth finish, so a soft cloth is enough for cleaning and strong impacts should be avoided.
4. Function
The product page describes obsidian as one of the most powerful grounding and protection crystals, carrying the primal, direct and transformative energy of the earth. Practically, the palm stone serves for hand-held calming, decoration and display, and the page notes that bulk sourcing provides consistent quality, ethical mining assurance and dependable global delivery.
