Black Obsidian Wand

Obsidian is formed when volcanic lava comes into contact with water; this forces it to cool so quickly that it doesn't have time to crystallize resulting in a stone with a shiny, glassy texture.

Black Obsidian is an extremely powerful and fast acting stone, and should be used with caution for Crystal Healing. It can bring negative emotions and unpleasant truths rushing to the surface, which have to be confronted before peace can return. Many people find Obsidian's effects overwhelming and prefer to use a gentler stone.

Black Obsidian is a very protective stone. It is said to form a shield against negativity and to absorb negative energies from the environment. Because of this it should be cleansed regularly in running water.

Place Black Obsidian on the Base Chakra for grounding.

In healing Obsidian is believed to reduce the pain of arthritis, to help joint problems and to ease cramp. It is also said to aid digestion.

Crystal wands are shaped to have a point at one end and some have a smooth finish on the other end. They are the traditional healing tool of healers and are available in many shapes and sizes depending on the formation of the crystal.

The unique shape of a wand means that the energy from the crystal can be focused in a straight line. In addition the smooth end of the wand can be used as an effective body massager.

Crystal wands can be used with a crystal wand healing technique to help release unwanted tensions from the body.
