Black Obsidian Buddha Matte

Black obsidian, even in its matte form, holds similar spiritual meanings to its shiny counterpart.

• Protection and Grounding: Obsidian is renowned for its protective properties, and the matte finish doesn’t diminish this. It’s said to shield you from negativity, psychic attacks, and harmful energies. The black color further emphasizes this protective energy.

• Shadow Work and Emotional Release: Black obsidian, matte or not, is associated with facing your “shadow self” – the unconscious parts of your personality that may hold negativity or past hurts. By bringing these shadows to light, you can release them and achieve emotional healing.

• Truth and Clarity: Despite its dark color, obsidian is believed to promote truth and clarity. The matte finish might symbolize a more introspective kind of clarity, helping you see within yourself and access your intuition.

• Transformation and Growth: By facing your shadows and releasing negativity, black obsidian is believed to pave the way for personal transformation and growth. The matte quality might symbolize the transformative process itself, which isn’t always smooth or shiny.

• Balance and Grounding: Obsidian is said to have grounding properties, connecting you to your core and promoting a sense of stability. The matte finish may emphasize this connection to the earth’s grounding energy.

• Buddha: The word “Buddha” literally translates to “Awakened One” or “Enlightened One”. He serves as a guide and inspiration for followers on their own spiritual journeys.
