Description

This 3.50-inch black obsidian point is carved from natural volcanic glass and polished to a deep, mirror-like sheen. Artisans engrave seven chakra symbols along the front face of the point, each filled with vivid color that corresponds to its traditional energetic association. The glossy obsidian surface provides a striking contrast, making every symbol stand out clearly.

The tapered form and clean termination create a bold display piece that blends symbolic design with the reflective beauty of natural obsidian.


Geological Background

Black obsidian is a volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools rapidly, preventing mineral crystals from developing. Its silica-rich composition produces a smooth, glassy texture with a jet-black appearance. Obsidian commonly occurs along volcanic domes, lava flows, and rhyolitic environments where cooling is abrupt enough to freeze molten rock into an amorphous solid.

Because it breaks with sharp conchoidal fractures, obsidian has been used for tools and ornamental objects since ancient times.
