Obsidian Raw | Natural Volcanic Glass Specimen per piece

The Stone at a Glance Born from the rapid cooling of silica-rich lava, this Raw Obsidian specimen is nature’s most formidable glass. With its deep, jet-black luster and razor-sharp natural edges, it carries an undeniable energy of strength and precision.

Unlike tumbled stones, this raw form retains its volcanic "skin" and conchoidal fractures, making it a powerful visual piece for collectors and a potent tool for energy workers. Its raw, unrefined state offers an earthy, ancient aesthetic that perfectly complements bold, organic jewelry designs.

Artisan Specs & Utility Dimensions: [Insert Size, e.g., 40mm x 25mm] Shape: Raw Natural Fragment Best For: High-contrast wire wrapping, protective amulets, and raw mineral collections. Visual Profile: Opaque, glassy black with sharp, light-reflecting edges and natural ridges.

Mineralogical Profile Composition: Igneous Volcanic Glass (high silica content). Structure: Amorphous (non-crystalline), resulting in its signature glass-like break patterns. Durability: 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale; durable for jewelry but should be handled with care due to sharp natural edges. Formation: Created when lava cools so quickly that mineral crystals do not have time to grow.

Metaphysical & Lore Chakra: Root Chakra (Grounding) Zodiac: Scorpio & Sagittarius Properties: Known as a premier "Psychic Vacuum Cleaner," Black Obsidian is highly prized for its ability to absorb negativity and provide intense spiritual protection. It is a favored "Mirror Stone" for shadow work, helping the user face truths while remaining grounded and shielded from external stress.

Care & Longevity Clean: Gently rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid: Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steamers, as thermal shock can cause fracturing. Storage: Store in a dedicated soft pouch; its sharp edges can scratch other stones, and harder stones can scuff its glassy surface.

Why Choose This Piece? Designed for the artisan who appreciates the "unfiltered" power of the earth. This raw obsidian fragment is ideal for wire wrapping projects that aim to capture a primitive or gothic elegance. It is a must-have for those creating talismans centered around protection, grounding, and personal truth.
