The black obsidian ring is a discreet power jewel. This absolute, vitreous, and shiny black on a silver-set cabochon has a magnetism that attracts the eye without being ostentatious. It is a ring that says something about the person who wears it: a certain inner strength, an ability to face the truth. The Aztecs carved obsidian into divinatory mirrors for their priests, and this link between obsidian and naked truth has never disappeared. Wearing a black obsidian ring is like wearing a small mirror of truth on your finger.
In lithotherapy, the black obsidian ring on the finger accompanies every gesture with an energy of radical protection and lucidity. As hands are major points of energy exchange, obsidian on the finger protects in every interaction: handshake, contact, exchange. It is a stone that repels bad intentions and helps to perceive unspoken things in relationships. It is recommended for people who work in toxic environments, who negotiate with difficult interlocutors, or who need to protect themselves in manipulative situations. Obsidian works on the root chakra with powerful and uncompromising grounding. Black obsidian pairs well with rose quartz (to temper its sharp energy), black tourmaline (double protection), or rock crystal (clarity). For maintenance, remove your ring before washing your hands. A rinse with clear water and recharging in moonlight are sufficient. With a hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, protect it from shocks.
