Obsidian Palm Stones, Large Obsidian disks, Protective Obsidian, Obsidian Altar Stones, Obsidian Witch's Stones, Magickal Obsidian
 
Obsidian is actually volcanic glass!  THe energetic feel of obsidian is hard to describe.  Not as heavy as you'd expect, this stone is a little like Shungite. Like looking into a piece of black glass, because technically you are.  I love the profoundly protective qualities of Obsidian on my altar and around my home.
 
I got only a few of these large beauties in this most recent shopping excursion.  These are large, as shown in the images with the U.S quarter for scale.  Some pictures are better than others.  In some pictures they look almost dusty, but they aren't. These are not flashy like some other stones, but have quiet strength!
