Black Obsidian is an extremely powerful stone with quite a serious nature. Obsidian is transformed by fire under intense pressure and condensed into its hardest form. 
 
In personal healing it's frequency is a good assistant to get to the core of root issues, as Obsidian has already traveled to the core and experienced its own transformational process.
 
It is common to see this stone fashioned into the shape of an arrowhead. This appropriately symbolizes Obsidian's ability to to exactly where you direct its vibration, as its energy naturally travels in a straight line. 
 
Obsidian travels quite deeply into the unconscious realms and can be most helpful in moving intense emotions, such as sorrow and grief. Black Obsidian has been used throughout history as a scrying stone and meditation aid.
