OBSIDIAN ARROHEAD | Protection, Purification, Transformation

 Chakra | Root

Inspiration | Our inspiration to create this piece came from the Katla Ice Cave located in the Kotlujokull Glacier in South Iceland. This sharp edged rugged cave changes in appearance from magical blue hues to deep dark and mysterious, depending on the climate year to year.  Formed by the eruption of the Volcano underneath by the same name, 'Katla', it is still considered one of the most dangerous subglacial volcanoes in the world. The dark coloration in these ice caves are the result of layers of ash deposited over years of volcanic activity. Walking through these caves can feel as if you are transported inside the belly of the Obsidian Mountain itself. 

Benefits | Black Obsidian Arrowhead is what we selected to convey this inspiration, of raw, ruggedly charming and delightful site. Obsidian is formed during rapid cooling of the molten lava solidifying as glass. When cut, it can be carved into arrowheads and knives. Valued for its razor sharp edges, it was often used for hunting in ancient times. It is an excellent protection crystal that blocks negativity and keeps you grounded. It acts as a filtering and purification system, cleansing and clearing your energy field. The strong vibration of this glass crystal can be used for cutting unhealthy cords and for shielding you from psychic attacks. It acts like a sponge absorbing anything heading your way but not meant for your highest good.  With the power of this crystal you will never be caught off guard. It carries a strong pull to draw out hidden insecurities and deep rooted fears so you can feel free at last from karmic bondage.
