Obsidian
Material Properties
The name “Obsidian” originates from the Greek word “opsianos” (meaning “vision” or “apparition”). This etymology is linked to ancient Ethiopians who used obsidian as mirrors. Obsidian is an amorphous natural volcanic glass containing various minerals, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), accounting for about 70% of its content.
Typically black in color, it may exhibit color variations or banding patterns. With a pronounced vitreous luster, it shines brilliantly when illuminated. It has a Mohs hardness of approximately 5, making it relatively hard.

Optimal Times for Use
Unfamiliar Environments & Solitude
When hiking in remote mountains, camping outdoors, or traveling alone abroad, wearing obsidian strengthens Root chakra energy. It reduces anxiety about the unknown, maintains calmness, and dispels negative energy stemming from loneliness or fear.
High-Pressure Work Environments
In stressful workplaces (busy offices or tense meeting rooms) facing job pressure or interpersonal friction, obsidian stabilizes Sacral and Root chakra energy. It helps maintain composure and confidence under pressure, preventing emotional overwhelm while enhancing mental resilience to tackle professional challenges.
Exercise & Fitness
After intense workouts or prolonged physical labor—particularly lower-body fatigue—obsidian aids physical recovery. It promotes blood circulation in the lower limbs, reducing muscle exhaustion. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts benefit from quicker recovery and sustained energy balance.
Healing Properties
Emotional Anchoring During Hardship
During life trials—overwhelming stress, emotional wounds, or career setbacks—obsidian’s energy works deeply to stabilize emotions. It provides grounding, restoring a sense of security when feeling lost in anxiety or fear.
Negative Energy Shielding
In modern society’s barrage of malice, environmental pressures, and internal negativity, obsidian acts as an energetic shield. It blocks these harmful energies from penetrating your chakras.
Fear Liberation
By strengthening the Sacral chakra, it fosters connection with Earth’s supportive energy, alleviating panic toward dangers or the unknown. Helps reclaim inner peace and self-assurance.
Lower-Body Circulation Boost
In chakra systems, the lower body deeply connects with Sacral and Root chakras. Obsidian stimulates both, positively influencing blood flow. When these chakras’ energy flows smoothly, they function like engines powering lower-body circulation.
