There are lots of different rare crystals out there that are all wonderful and beautiful in their own unique way, but one of the most striking stones out there absolutely has to be black obsidian, a type of volcanic glass that forms when lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal formation.
The depth of black to the stone is stunning and the glassy surface makes it absolutely perfect for home styling. It’s also hard and durable, so the chances of it breaking are quite small – another reason why it’s so good for your interiors!
You’ll also find that it comes in different shades, including gold, mahogany and rainbow, so you could have a brilliant time building up a really interesting collection of stones.
It’s believed by many that obsidian is a protection stone, one that has significant healing properties, again making it ideal to keep throughout the house.
It’s thought that it has the power to help stimulate growth, protect against negativity and provide mental clarity – and it’s often used as a meditation tool to help promote positive mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
There are lots of ways you can introduce this stone at home. What about positioning a statement piece near your front door, or even above the door frame, to help protect you from negative energy outside? Or you could consider using several stones and filling up your plant pots with them for a decorative touch to your favourite plants.
Another great place for this particular stone is the bedroom. It’s thought it can help protect you emotionally and spiritually at night, grounding you while you sleep and encouraging better rest, with fewer disturbances.
And, of course, your home office is another top choice for black obsidian. We all know how stressful work can be but this gemstone can help you stay in a positive frame of mind, no matter what lands in your email inbox.
Ultimately, however, wherever you decide to put your stones, you’re sure to reap the benefits very quickly indeed, both from an interiors perspective and a personal one.
