The obelisk shape echoes the monuments of ancient Egypt, which pointed toward the sun. Polished obsidian was used for mirrors by the Aztecs; one such mirror, associated with the Elizabethan scholar John Dee, is in the British Museum. In modern practice obsidian is linked with protection and honest self-reflection. In modern crystal tradition black obsidian is linked with the root chakra and with Scorpio and Sagittarius. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Stand it upright on a flat base or altar. - Some people set a point on a written intention or in a crystal grid. - It pairs traditionally with clear quartz or selenite. - Journalling idea: note the date you bought it and what drew you to it; collectors enjoy looking back on how a collection grew. - Shelf idea: group stones by colour, from deep to pale, for a display that reads like a gradient. - Meditation idea: rest it in an open palm and use its weight and temperature as a point of focus for five slow breaths. ## Care - Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip soaps, salt and long soaks.
