Obsidian: The honest mirror
Volcanic glass for deep protection and truth-telling. Obsidian doesn't sugarcoat, which is exactly why shadow workers love it.

Obsidian forms when lava cools so fast it turns to glass, and it's said to carry that same intensity. It's associated with strong protection and with truth: showing you what's really going on, including the parts of yourself you'd rather not look at.
That makes it powerful for shadow work, and a lot for some people. If it ever feels too heavy, set it aside and reach for something gentler. Its edges can be sharp, so handle raw pieces with care.

Try this
Hold obsidian while you write one honest sentence about something you've been avoiding. Then set the stone down and take a walk.
Crystals are a spiritual practice, not a medical one. Some stones fade in sunlight and some dissolve, rust or separate in water; each page says which. Never put crystals in drinking water, and keep small stones away from children and pets.
