Characteristics of Obsidian

Obsidian is primarily composed of silica and is a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling and solidification of volcanic lava when it comes into contact with seawater. In general, obsidian appears opaque black under strong light, but it may exhibit a dreamy rainbow eye or a delicate golden sand effect on the surface.

Obsidian as an Amulet Material

In addition to being used for crystal bracelets, obsidian has many other uses! Obsidian is one of the crystals commonly used in Buddhism to make Buddhist beads and handicrafts. It has long been made into various talismans and amulets. In Chinese tradition, obsidian is also used to make decorative crafts and ornaments of legendary creatures such as Pixiu and foxes, with a strong function of attracting wealth and ensuring safety.

Symbolism of Obsidian

Obsidian is also known as the "tears of Apache." According to Native American legend, a troop fell into an enemy ambush and was completely wiped out. The news of the tragedy reached their families, and the tears shed by them turned into obsidian when they fell to the ground. Therefore, it is called the "gemstone that no longer weeps." Whoever possesses this black obsidian will never cry again. Therefore, giving obsidian to others symbolizes no more tears and eternal happiness.

Common Types of Obsidian

Obsidian displays color patterns known as "rainbow eyes." Obsidian with rainbow eyes is rarer and therefore more precious. Other common types of obsidian include snowflake obsidian and golden obsidian.

Customer Success Stories

"Recently, my dog kept barking at the corner for days and refused to eat. I suspected that my dog saw something unclean and wanted to cleanse and protect my home, so I immediately bought a large obsidian sphere to place in my house and a pendant to hang on my dog's collar. It really worked!"

"Previously, my boss often targeted me, so I bought green phantom quartz hoping to help me find a new job. Although I decided to stay in the end, I was promoted twice in six months. However, the promotions brought envy from colleagues, and I heard a lot of unpleasant gossip at work, which troubled me. So I bought an obsidian ornament and placed it in the office. Within a month, the most gossipy female colleague disappeared! (She was fired by the company) The crystal really helped me a lot!"

"Being pursued by someone you dislike is very annoying, especially when it's your brother's best friend. Since we often meet, I didn't know how to handle it and didn't want to make it awkward in the future. It started with innocent phone calls, but escalated to him coming to my workplace to see me, pretending to coincidentally pick me up after work. I was in a dilemma. When I went to Causeway Bay to see crystals with my friends, I shared my big trouble with the salesperson. They recommended a black obsidian fox pendant. After a few weeks, he stopped harassing me!"

"Due to my husband's work, he often has to go to Shenzhen for business. He used to never stay overnight, but recently he changed a lot. Once he went for business, he didn't return for a whole week. I called his colleagues, and they said the project in mainland China had been completed early. I tried many ways to save our relationship, but nothing worked. I didn't have the courage to confront him about having a boss up there. As a woman with a child, relying on him for living expenses, I still love him and don't want to lose him. I heard from friends that crystals can change luck. A friend took me to your store, and the staff recommended buying a black obsidian fox to place by the bed and a small fox to put in my husband's car. After a few months, he gradually reduced his trips there, and last month, he even apologized to me."

"My family bought me a piece of obsidian to wear, and I have been wearing it all along. I didn't believe in the energy of crystals and just wore it as an accessory. But after an experience, my view on crystals changed. When I went on vacation with friends, as soon as we opened the door to the vacation home, my obsidian suddenly broke and fell to the ground. I was stunned because I remembered my family mentioning that obsidian wards off evil and if it breaks, it shouldn't be worn again. So my mind went blank immediately, very scared. Luckily, nothing special happened afterwards when I returned home, but I heard from friends that they fell ill after returning home. So after the obsidian broke, I immediately bought a new piece of obsidian to wear again. Since then, I wear it every day as a talisman for protection."
