Obsidian: Blue

Obsidian: Blue most is man-made; however there is a rare natural Blue Obsidian. Both have the appearance of clear blue ice, natural often has orange strands and can sometimes be cloudy. It is actually a volcanic glass that forms when molten lava cools too rapidly to crystallize. Manmade is perfectly clear and is formed from melted glass with added color. Anything man made does have an energy but is different to the natural stone (and it is still created from natural products, for glass is made of sand). Blue Obsidian has a wonderful, dreamy, soft energy. It magnifies like a magnifying lens and helps you to see more clearly into a situation; whether it be decision making, clearing mental clutter, or opening into spiritual pursuits. It brings in clarity for: tarot card readings, scrying, dowsing or other forms of divination. Blue Obsidian has a way of clearing the mind of confusion, slowing our thought processes down so we take one thing at a time and do it well. This stone brings about objectivity and dis-attachment to guide you clearly to the core of the choices. It also aids communication, so we can clear our head, and allow the words from our heart … honesty and truth. Known as the stone of being CLEAR! “Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.” Jim Rohn
