Obsidian Family

Obsidian is formed by the quick cooling down of volcanic larva and as such, is not strictly classed as a crystal but is a very useful mineral to have in a collection. Some colours/types of Obsidian have formed naturally and are freely available, others such as the beautiful Blue Obsidian are rarely found in nature but are more often man made.

Often called “the Truth Stone” with the Black Obsidian being considered as being the strongest for releasing hidden truths from within us.
