Obsidian

Obsidian is a natural volcanic rock, a volcanic glass, renowned for being one of the most powerful protective stones in lithotherapy.

Here is a summary of its main properties:

🛡️ Energetic and Spiritual Properties (Root Chakra)

Mental Clarity: It eliminates confusion and anxiety, promoting lucidity and helping to make fair decisions.

Release of Blockages: It helps to break with the past and free oneself from karmic ties or old traumas.
