About an inch across, this polished obsidian sphere is easy to hold during meditation, slip into a pocket as a worry stone, or set into an altar grid.
Its glossy black surface mirrors everything around it, and each sphere's natural surface character varies slightly.
Volcanic glass
Ancient fire, cooled to glass.
Obsidian forms when lava cools so quickly that crystals have no time to grow, leaving a smooth, glassy stone. It is most often black, and can also appear brown, gray or green.
Its sharp, reflective fractures made it a favorite for blades, tools and decorative objects, and people have worked it for thousands of years in cultural, spiritual and artistic traditions. It is found in volcanic regions around the world, including the United States, Mexico, Armenia, Turkey, Iceland, Japan and Ethiopia.

A stone of protection, grounding and transformation.
In crystal tradition, obsidian is said to shield against negativity by absorbing and dispelling harmful energy. It is believed to help with grounding and connection to the Earth, bringing stability, strength and balance, and to encourage self-reflection, clarity and emotional renewal, easing fear and bringing hidden truths to light. Its sharp edges have long symbolized cutting through illusion.
Obsidian is associated with the Root chakra, said to offer a sense of security and a strong foundation for personal and spiritual growth. Spheres are thought to send energy out equally in every direction, their symmetry said to radiate a high frequency of positive energy.
Crystals have been prized for centuries for their beauty and believed metaphysical properties; Spirit Magicka makes no guarantee of any mystical or healing effect.
