Obsidian (all)

To categorise our Obsidians we examine each one closely under a bright light from all angles to determine its clarity, banding, colour play and/or sheen. All Obsidians are powerful stones, and being amorphous minerals they have no crystalline structure, allowing them to be infinitely useful in supporting work of a free-flowing or changeable nature, especially where it is important to be and remain flexible in approach or solution. More information about the SMOKY (Apache Tear), BLACK, RAINBOW and SNOWFLAKE types will be found under their own entry - look under A, B, R or S.
Our BLUE OBSIDIAN is a natural (NOT man-made) transparent blue form of obsidian from Morocco that is fine and generally clear with minute air inclusions. It has a cool and free-ranging energy that is soft and gentle and would be useful for gently calming any energy centre or supporting and soothing an over active throat chakra.
PEACOCK OBSIDIAN is a very rare form of obsidian. It contains spectrum colours that swirl around within the obsidian, rather than being layered, as with the rainbow obsidians. They can help one flow more clearly through the dance of Life, whilst also teaching the value of living outside the conforms of conventional structure / society. They are also said to be great visionary stones and of great value when dreaming or journeying through astral travel.
All SHEEN OBSIDIAN have a play of colour across their surface when in the presence of strong light. The colours arise because of minor impurities, liquids and gasses that have been trapped within the obsidian during its period of rapid cooling. Each sheen obsidian has a connection to the colour Ray it displays: GOLD SHEEN connects with the Gold Ray and to the energies of Christ-consciousness, Divine Will and the Light of the Divine Masculine; SILVER SHEEN connects with the Silver Ray and the energies of the Divine Feminine and the Great Mysteries; GREEN SHEEN with the Emerald Ray of Truth and Balance; and PURPLE SHEEN to the Violet Ray of Transformative Light.
SPIDER WEB OBSIDIAN is a graphite-grey material with fine random web-like threads of silvery-grey material running through it and across its surface. Spider-silk is one of the strongest materials known, and this tells us that this stone is likely to be of great help in providing an inner support when journeying, healing or doing self-exploration work. The silvery-grey colours remind me of the energies of the Platinum Ray, a Cosmic energy that is both connective and protective. Here, with this obisidian, we are given the time and ability to unravel the threads of our lives and travel inwards and outwards to experience the rich tapestry of the Universe.
