Black Obsidian 8mm Faceted Star Bead - 15-16 Inch

Essentially a volcanic glass, Obsidian ranges in color from opaque black, to green, brown, mahogany, black with rainbow colors, black with snowflake patterns, black with a golden sheen, and translucent black (Apache Tears). Known as a powerful grounding stone, Obsidian connects with the Root chakra. It is not to be used lightly as it has been said to unleash undesirable truths. However, if used skillfully, it releases negative patterns and past emotional traumas so that one can truly begin to heal.
