Black obsidian is known in feng shui as a powerfully protective stone, absorbing unwanted energy from its wearer and replacing it with positive feelings of joy, happiness, and enthusiasm. In our modern world, black obsidian continues to be used in items such as the black obsidian wealth bracelet which serves as a powerful charm for grounding and wealth.
Black obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that has a smooth, glossy, and shiny appearance.
In ancient traditions, it was considered the stone of the Mayans and Aztecs due to its abundance in those regions.
