Obsidian Arrowhead

Obsidian can be difficult for some people to work with.  It is a fantastic self-improvement stone which reflects one's flaws and shows one a clear picture of the needed changes and how, but does this very bluntly. It is a stone that provides "no B.S." answers.  It shields one against negativity.  Carrying or wearing it helps to clear those unloving thoughts which come from within or are directed at the physical self.  It is an excellent protection stone, stabilizing ones energies and gently protecting one from physical and emotional harm.  It is a grounding stone and provides for a connection from the base of the spine to the heart of the earth.  It's useful in healing, providing both healer and the individual clarity with respect to both cause and improvement of disease.
