In stock
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.
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.

Obsidian has been shaped into blades, mirrors, carvings, and ritual objects across cultures including the Aztec, Maya, and ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Its reflective surface and deep black tone have historically symbolized clarity, insight, and protective awareness.
In modern decorative and metaphysical traditions, engraved chakra points combine artistic symbolism with natural volcanic glass, creating a contemporary interpretation rooted in both cultural artistry and spiritual iconography.

Black obsidian is traditionally associated with:
Reflective insight, symbolically mirroring the clarity of polished volcanic glass
Energetic protection, connected to its deep, opaque tone
Rooted presence, reinforcing themes of stability and grounding
The addition of chakra symbols emphasizes alignment, awareness, and intentional arrangement, reflecting long-standing color and symbolic traditions.
At 3.50 inches, this point provides enough height for all seven chakra engravings to be clearly visible. The glossy obsidian surface enhances the vivid colors of the symbols, while the polished termination offers a clean, geometric finish. This piece works well as a decorative display item, spiritual tool, or symbolic centerpiece in a collection.
Wipe with a soft cloth to maintain shine. Avoid dropping, as obsidian can chip due to its glassy structure. Keep away from abrasive surfaces.
