DESCRIPTION

Black Obsidian from Mexico is a powerful and striking gemstone formed through volcanic activity. Geologically, it is an extrusive igneous rock that originated from the rapid cooling of lava flows. The volcanic glassy texture of Black Obsidian is a result of the molten lava cooling too quickly for mineral crystals to form. It is primarily composed of silica and contains small amounts of impurities that give it its dark black color.

Historically and culturally, Black Obsidian has been utilized by various civilizations for its unique properties. In ancient Mexico, it held great significance and was used in religious and spiritual practices by the Aztecs and Mayans. Black Obsidian was believed to have protective qualities and was used for scrying and divination. It was also shaped into tools, weapons, and ritual objects due to its sharpness and strength. Black Obsidian played a role in Mesoamerican rituals, symbolizing transformation, purification, and connection to the spiritual realm.
