All Crystals and Stones will have variations in color, shape and size. Pictures are approximations of color, shape and size. Obsidian forms when felsic lava cools rapidly, preventing crystal formation. This rapid cooling results in the amorphous, glassy texture. It is commonly found in volcanic regions, often near the margins of rhyolitic lava flows.  Chakra: Root and Third Eye Protection: Obsidian is considered a protective stone by many, providing shielding to the aura from negativity and harmful intentions. It is said to also be used to block psychic attacks and negative spiritual influences.
