Obsidian is a talisman of those who dare to see…the past, the future, or one’s own inner demons and darkest truths. It is no ordinary stone, but nature’s glass formed from volcanic lava and hardened so quickly it formed no crystalline structure. It has no boundaries or limitations, and works rapidly with great power.

 Black Obsidian - a pure, glossy black that may appear deep brown when light is shined on thin edges.  Black Obsidian is a teacher stone and could be deemed the “Warrior of Truth.” It is the most powerful of the Obsidians and does not cater to the ego; rather it exposes darkened areas of the subconscious to force one to face one’s true self. It assists in examining unresolved issues and harmful attitudes inhibiting one’s personal and spiritual growth.

Black Obsidian works quickly and can be overwhelming as it rushes negative emotions and difficult truths to the surface to be experienced and released. It is ideal for use in shamanic ceremonies to remove physical disorders. Black Obsidian is an excellent talisman for self-control, reversing previous misuse of power, and addressing power issues on all levels.

Now comes the real question...

Do stones really have energy, or is it all make believe?

I get this question all the time. The truth is, it comes down to what you believe. If you believe these stones can change your life, they will, and if you don’t, they won’t. What it really comes down to is mindset.

Science is catching up to this idea. Michael Merzenich, a neuroscientist and Professor Emeritus at UCSF who helped pioneer the study of neuroplasticity, put it this way: “We now realize that the brain is subject to change, and this change can be substantially under our control.” Your thoughts and choices actually shape the brain you live with.

The Dalai Lama once asked whether the mind alone could change the brain. Neuroscientist Richard Davidson went looking for the answer by studying monks with years of meditation practice, and he found striking differences in their brain activity. His conclusion: “Meditation can change the function of the brain in an enduring way.” Change your thoughts, change your life.

The people we admire most train their minds as hard as their skills. Michael Jordan said it in his famous Nike ad: “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” And the idea is ancient. The Dhammapada, one of the oldest Buddhist texts, opens with this line: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”

My jewelry is made from the finest natural stones from the earth, all personally sourced from around the world. As I handcraft each piece, I set an intention into it. That intention is simply waiting to be activated by your mind. Each time you touch or see your jewelry, you have the chance to ignite it and unlock its potential. These pieces are token reminders of what you want to bring into your life. While there is endless information about the legends of each stone, the real power comes from you. You bring change and goodness into your life. Start living up to your full potential with these intention talismans.
