ARROWHEAD (Black Obsidian)

Protection – grounding – inner clarity

Born from fire and the rapid cooling of lava, black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that has been valued for millennia for its powerful protective energy and its ability to bring truth to the surface. Shaped into an arrowhead, it carries a strong symbolism: discernment, clear direction, and the capacity to cut cleanly with what no longer belongs. These pieces—both raw and refined—echo an ancestral bond between humans and the Earth, offering a presence that is quiet, yet deeply reassuring.

In crystal healing, black obsidian is often chosen to absorb heavy energies, strengthen the energetic field, and support deep grounding. It helps calm the mind when everything feels intense, brings you back to what matters, and encourages uncompromising clarity. Its vibration can feel strong: it invites honesty with yourself, the release of old fears, and the reclaiming of personal power. Black obsidian arrowheads are therefore appreciated as a protective talisman, and also as a tool for centering—ideal during times of transition, energetic cleansing, or personal transformation.

How to use & set intentions

• Energetic protection: carry it with you or keep it near an entryway, in a bag, or on a desk.

• Grounding: during meditation, hold the arrowhead and set an intention for stability and presence.

• Clarity: supportive when you want to cut through hesitation and make a more aligned decision.

Cleansing & recharging

To maintain its energy, cleanse gently (smoke, sound, or intention). Recharge in soft light or on a mineral support (e.g., a quartz cluster or geode). Avoid overly harsh methods if the piece has fine edges.

Each arrowhead is one of a kind—its shape, sheen, and natural variations tell the story of the fire that formed it: a stone of truth, protection, and inner strength, ready to support daily life with quiet power.
