All About Green Obsidian

Green Obsidian
for emotional harmony and well-being
Green Obsidian opens, balances, and heals the heart chakra, helping to release energies no longer serving your higher purpose. It connects with nature, love, tenderness, and nurturing. It can help you to reclaim yourself, or help re-discover forgotten abilities. It helps manifest abundance and enrich the intangible ‘inner wealth’ that comes from harmony and well-being.
Green Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that carries powerful healing and protective energy. Though rarer than black obsidian, it’s cherished for its ability to open the heart chakra, release energetic blockages, and stimulate personal growth. Green Obsidian supports deep emotional healing, especially in areas related to trauma, grief, and self-worth. It’s also used to cut through illusion, strengthen auric boundaries, and assist with spiritual detox. This stone brings clarity to the heart and mind, allowing for insight and transformation rooted in truth.
*Note that natural green obsidian is quite rare and expensive. Most Green Obsidian on the market is man-made.*
