My pick for this months’ Crystal of the Month is Black Obsidian. It’s been long associated with the celebrations of Samhain and other cultural equivalents. Mainly due to it’s protective qualities, it’s a great stone to have around when communicating with spirits. It’s said to be able to ward off any negative or unwanted energies and spirits by creating a protective shield around the wearer, while also preventing psychic attacks by unseen (or even seen) phenomena.

Though it’s not my #1 pick for a protective stone ( I have a preference for Black Tourmaline) it’s classically worn for protection and is in the top 5 of my favorite protective stones of all time.

We sell lots of Black Obsidian in the shop if you ever find yourself in need. We have nice large raw chunks, smaller smooth and tumbled stones, jewelry pieces and some fun carvings. We have a favorite method for helping you choose the right stones, so come in and let us help determine if Black Obsidian is the right protective stone for you.
