AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Black obsidian sphere from Mexico, famous for its mirror-like shine and deep, mysterious appearance. Obsidian is a glassy volcanic rock formed by the rapid cooling of acidic lava, which prevents crystallization. This process gives the material a perfectly smooth and reflective surface, used since ancient times for ceremonial objects and cutting tools.
The piece was carefully turned and hand-polished to achieve a perfect sphere capable of reflecting the surrounding environment like a black mirror.
Mineral: natural black obsidian
Origin: Mexico
Polishing: a mirror, handcrafted process
Obsidian is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), but unlike quartz, it lacks a crystalline structure. Its formation occurs in explosive volcanic environments, and the black variant is among the most classic and sought-after, appreciated for its color purity and intense energy.
In crystal therapy, black obsidian is considered a protective and grounding stone, useful for shielding against negative energies and stimulating introspection. Due to its reflective surface, it is also traditionally associated with divination and the sphere of vision.
