Description
Stylish and elegant, these silver dangle earrings feature a raindrop obsidian stone.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, formed when molten lava cools so quickly in water that it doesn’t have time to crystallize.
This powerhouse stone embodies all the compressed fiery energies of its genesis. Obsidian is well-known as “Dragonglass,” one of the two substances (dragonglass and Valyrian steel) that are basically “kryptonite” to White Walkers on the popular television series, Game of Thrones.
Since Paleolithic times obsidian was used to make arrowheads and other tools. Indigenous peoples revered obsidian both for its practical usefulness and its mystical power. The Aztecs used obsidian to heal wounds and considered it to be the ‘source of life.’ The Mayans made magic mirrors from polished obsidian. Today, obsidian is still used for some of these same reasons by crystal healers and energy workers.
Obsidian is an excellent stone for absorbing negative energy. A strongly protective stone, it creates a protective shield against psychic attack, bad intentions and negativities. Obsidian has been said to be a ‘psychic vacuum cleaner,’ beneficial for removing unwanted attachments within and around you. These may include toxic people, places and self-abusive tendencies.
Obsidian has been sought after by healers for alleviating symptoms of insecurity and depression, especially caused by other people’s stress and negativity. It does wonders for improving self-image and enhancing self-esteem. For those with confidence issues, such as shame or shyness, Obsidian will induce personal development and allow you to overcome any obstacles in your way. Black obsidian dispels fear and fear-based emotions (i.e. unloving thoughts, anger, resentment, anxiety, despair etc.). This stone will help your mind to recover from any tragedies you endured in the past, and will help you to get past any hard feelings or fear that may have stemmed from these traumas. It facilitates the release of old loves and provides support during change.
Physically, Obsidian is reputed to aid digestion and detoxification, and provides support in efforts to relinquish dependencies, such as smoking, overeating, overdrinking or using drugs. It may help with alleviating pain, particularly associated with cramps of an unknown origin.
