The Black Obsidian Tumble Garland is made with natural Black Obsidian tumbled stones, each smoothed and polished to a glossy, deep-black shine. The irregular, organic shapes of the tumbles give the garland a bold and earthy character. It can be worn as a statement necklace, used during meditation or kept on an altar or in a sacred space. Black Obsidian is traditionally regarded as a powerful protective and grounding stone, believed to absorb negative energy and help one stay centred.

The Black Obsidian Tumble Garland has a strong, grounding presence that suits both men and women. Many people keep it on their altar or in their meditation space when not wearing it. Its tumbled stones have natural, irregular shapes, so each garland has its own character. It is a meaningful gift for anyone seeking protection and stability.

About Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that forms when lava cools so quickly that crystals do not have time to grow. It has a glossy, deep black lustre and breaks with smooth, curved (conchoidal) fractures that can be very sharp. Obsidian has a hardness of about 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale and was used by ancient peoples to make tools and mirrors.

How to Use Your Black Obsidian Tumble Garland

Wear your Black Obsidian Tumble Garland for daily styling, festive occasions, pooja, meditation or gifting. A necklace rests close to the heart and throat area, which is why many crystal users like wearing their chosen stones this way. It pairs well with both traditional Indian outfits and simple western clothing. Put it on after applying perfume and cosmetics, and take it off before bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping so that it stays in good condition for longer.

Cleansing & Recharging

To cleanse and recharge your necklace in the traditional way, leave it under moonlight overnight, pass it gently through the smoke of white sage or palo santo, or use sound such as a singing bowl.

Many crystal users like to hold the piece for a moment afterwards and set a clear, positive intention.
