Mahogany Obsidian and Snowflake Obsidian are milder alternatives often preferred for gentler soul-healing journeys.

While individual sensitivities vary, it's generally recommended not to use Black Obsidian on the head or throat chakra for more than 20 minutes. Wearing it as a bracelet may offer convenience, but it's important to note that Black Obsidian's effects can accumulate over time. It's prudent to wear it only during specific practices rather than prolonged periods.

Medical advice

Care for Obsidian

Obsidian, formed from rapidly cooled lava, is sometimes called "volcanic glass" and requires delicate handling. Avoid dropping or striking it, as it may chip or break. Cleansing Black Obsidian can be achieved using  the Elements Water, Fire, or Earth, as it originates from volcanic activity. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes, as this may cause fractures. Running water effectively cleanses Obsidian in 5 minutes, while sunlight can recharge it in approximately 10 minutes. For Earth cleansing, burying the stone in the ground for an extended period restores its energies, but a shorter method involves placing it on the Earth for a day or two in a serene environment.
