BLACK OBSIDIAN Black   obsidian   is   a   black   glass-like   rock   that   forms   a   result   of   volcanic   lava   cooling quickly.   Its   energy   draws   you   in   softly,   but   very   deeply,   which   makes   the   presence   of black   obsidian   powerful   in   many   ways.   It   is   commonly   used   for   protection,   healing, truth-telling, and feng shui. The   word   “obsidian”   comes   from   the   Latin   “obsidianus”.   This   is   an   inaccurate   version   of the   words   “Obsianus   (lapis)”,   meaning   “(stone)   of   Obsius”.   The   latter   was   a   Roman   who discovered   the   rock   in   Africa,   more   specifically   Ethiopia.   The   history   of   this   powerful rock is older than the Roman Empire.

BLACK OBSIDIAN Obsidian    is    an    extrusive    volcanic    rock    that    formed    from    the    very    rapid    solidification    of rhyolitic    lava    and    consists    primarily    of    silica.        It    is    translucent    to    subtransparent    with    a vitreous   luster   on   fresh   surfaces.      Its   black,   greenish-black,   or   smoky   colors   are   often   mottled or   banded.      “Apache   tears”   are   the   residual   nodules   of   obsidian   that   remain   after   an   obsidian body has weathered into perlite. The    obsidian    was    first    used    as    a    weapon    and    a    mirror    in    700,000    BC.    Pre-Columbian Mesoamericans used it to make tools. They also carved it in the form of decorative objects. The   black   obsidian   appears   in   the   history   of   Native   Americans   as   well.   The   stone   statues   on Easter   Island   have   obsidian   in   their   composition.   You’ll   also   find   the   rock   mentioned   in   the Middle East. According   to   astrologists,   the   rock   is   the   stone   of   Pluto.   In   ancient   times,   the   obsidian   was believed to be a fragment that fell from Satan’s claws. The   Apache   Tears   pattern   takes   its   name   from   a   legend.   50   warriors   of   the   Native   American tribe   died   in   an   ambush   and   their   bodies   turned   into   black   stones.   The   tears   that   fell   from their   wives’   eyes   were   buried   in   the   stones   by   the   Great   Father.   If   you   look   at   a   black   obsidian in   the   light,   you   will   see   the   shape   of   a   tear.   People   who   wear   the   Apache   Tear   as   jewellery will never cry and good luck will follow them for the rest of their lives.
