Obsidian Beads

What is Obsidian and Where Does it Come From?

Obsidian is formed during the cooling of lava; it's naturally occurring volcanic glass. It occurs rapidly when the lava is in magma form. Obsidian is found in many regions of the world and comes in many varieties, such as black, snowflake, rainbow, and mahogany. That lava rock is made up of basalt, comprising molten lava. Further, its name comes from the igneous rock called basalt.  Black obsidian beads are the most popular variety, with their shiny black appearance and deep reflective quality inside.

What Does Obsidian Symbolize in Metaphysical Healing?

For centuries, people have utilized obsidian for grounding and protection. It is often used in spiritual healing methods to shield from negative energy and bring emotional healing. The stone is thought to eliminate impediments, improve profound reflection, and bestow a point of support. People often think that wearing obsidian or carrying an obsidian bead would absorb negativity. This can give us more focus on self-improvement and healing. 

What Are the Best Obsidian Beads for Jewelry Making?

There are so many different types of obsidian. The best obsidian beads for jewelry making depend on the style you’re going for and what energy you’d like to imbibe in your jewelry piece. The use of classic black obsidian beads is great for timeless designs. A popular choice for many is rainbow obsidian beads. Their bright sheen can change shade depending on light angles.  Golden sheen black obsidian beads are ideal for a darker color that will still reflect light a little.
