About obsidian

Obsidian is natural volcanic glass, deep black and glossy, and sometimes shows a silvery or rainbow sheen. In crystal tradition it is linked with protection, honesty and looking inward. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

FAQs

What weight is right for me?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.

Is a certificate included?
