The magical properties of obsidian stone have long been considered legendary. The fact is that the ancient Sumerians - one of the first civilizations that appeared on our planet - believed that it contained the power of three elements at once. The sun gave masculine energy to products from obsidian, as it was considered to be the patron saint of magicians, witches and sorcerers; gave huge leadership abilities. Saturn could influence fate and the past. Moreover, he increased ambition and a positive effect on stamina. And finally, Uranus possessed such energy, which was like a lightning strike, instant and accurate. He bestowed the ability to knowledge and wisdom. It is impossible to say for sure whether the magical properties of the obsidian stone really combine these three powerful planets. However, the fact that it is used in order to develop intuition and learn to predict events confirms the above power.
The Sumerian characteristics are not limited to the magical properties of the obsidian stone . The Sumerians made mirrors out of it, but not for everyday use. If you try to peer into it, you will understand that in front of you is a very unusual mirror. In fact, the Sumerians used it exactly that way: in these magical objects one could see the future, uncover the mysteries of the past or, for example, find out what was previously unknown. Some countries still use obsidian mirrors to this day, but they are produced in the form of balls, approximately the same as we used to see with foretellers or psychics. It should be noted that over a rather long period, the obsidian spheres of the future far exceeded the popularity of their crystal "sisters".
Astrologers consider the completely different magical properties of the obsidian stone to be the main. They suggest that his patron is Pluto. Despite the fact that scientists ceased to consider it a planet, the astrological impact has not gone away. Moreover, it is Pluto that exerts the most powerful and powerful influence on the expansion of consciousness. Therefore, obsidian is a stone, which is the eternal companion of clairvoyants and psychics.
It should be noted that many people, both in antiquity and in modern times, used the obsidian stone as an amulet. Its price is not high: you can spend only 20-25 dollars to acquire a powerful talisman for yourself. There are amulets and cheaper, but they will be smaller, respectively, their influence will not be so significant. It is generally accepted that it protects from the evil eye and damage, warns against bad deeds, which the owner of the amulet will subsequently regret.
As for coloring, in most cases you can see black obsidian. However, there are red, gray, brown and other shades. Because of the color, many can confuse it with artificial marble. In any case: red, brown or black - obsidian - a stone whose properties can be called unique, because only its appearance is fascinating so that it is impossible to take your eyes off.
