What exactly is Blue Obsidian?

Some Brief History:

Blue obsidian is a silica-rich volcanic rock with a glass-like appearance. Because natural Blue Obsidian is scarce, many stones on the market are man-made. It is generated when lava cools quickly when the environment is low in water and high in silica. It has a similar chemical composition to Rhyolite. The meaning of blue obsidian is communication and foundation.

Blue Obsidian is a beautiful blue stone that is formed by the burning raw energy of the world’s volcanoes. Cooling lava produces blue obsidian as a byproduct. This blue variant of natural volcanic glass is extremely unusual since it requires trapped gas bubbles to be present during cooling as well.

 

Healing Properties

Blue Obsidian has a distinct energy that exudes cool-headed clarity, a sense of tranquility, and the radiance of grounded and brave communication. We like it because it’s a “look before you leap” stone. The softly shimmering blue tones convey purifying energy, and its glassy countenance represents those who may need to dig deep inside to understand the realities that lie beyond the surface. It urges you to empower yourself by untangling the tangles of doubt and learning to embrace your true self.

One of Blue Obsidian’s key characteristics is its ability to aid in communication abilities. It inspires you to never be afraid of speaking your truth and expressing who you are. As the modern world can often make us feel trapped in impostor syndrome or as if we don’t have a voice, this unique and precious diamond contains a highly valuable healing aspect. Blue Obsidian not only improves our vocal flow and gives us the confidence to speak, but it also encourages us to focus on our grounding.

When we are grounded, we can look at a situation critically rather than being swept up in the emotions. Blue Obsidian brings harmony, faith in one’s own self, and helps us to find our true purpose here on this planet.

 

Metaphysical Properties

Blue Obsidian acts on the root chakra as well as the throat chakra, assisting you to ground yourself and speak your truth. Both are necessary tools for living a fuller and better life. Without a clear root chakra, we may struggle to feel safe and solid in this world, which may have a knock-on effect when it comes to speaking up, feeling heard, and having faith in our own voice.

Another vital energy point for emerging in our own power is the throat chakra. We may struggle to get our needs addressed if we swallow our voice, and we may lose our sense of strength and authenticity if we do so. Because it is how we communicate with those around us, an open throat chakra means we are better suited to connect with people on a deeper level. Blue Obsidian can take us beyond these chakras and into psychic development. We go one step closer to telepathy and perhaps astral travel when we cultivate the idea of communication and connection.
