How to Use Your Black Obsidian Chips
Placement
- Scatter in a bowl or jar near the main entrance for protective grounding.
- Place in the corners of a room to absorb and transmute heavy energy.
- Keep near a journal or shadow-work practice space.
- Use in a crystal grid for grounding or protection-focused intentions.
Activating Your Chips
- Hold the batch in cupped hands when you first receive it. Close your eyes, state your intention clearly, then place or scatter the chips. This programmes the full batch to your specific energy and goal.
- Place a written intention note beneath a jar or bowl of chips for continuous amplification.
- Light incense or a candle beside the chips during meditation or manifestation practice for enhanced effect.
Daily Practice
- Keep a few chips in a pocket or pouch on days requiring grounding or protection.
- Glance at or touch the jar each morning and restate your intention. Consistent daily connection significantly increases effectiveness.
Do's and Don'ts
- Do cleanse the full batch monthly to maintain its full energetic output.
- Do store chips in a jar or pouch when not in active use to keep them together and protected.
- Do handle the whole batch together when programming or setting intention.
- Don't leave loose chips within reach of young children or pets. Small chips are a choking hazard.
- Don't place chips directly in drinking water or ingest them.
- Don't mix loose in a bag with keys or coins. Chips can chip further or scratch other items.
- Don't expose Obsidian chips to sudden temperature changes. As natural volcanic glass, rapid heating or cooling can cause fine cracking.
Placement Guide
- Scatter in a bowl or jar near the main entrance or in the corners of a room.
- Distribute chips across multiple points for the widest possible field, rather than concentrating them all in one spot.
- Keep the area around any jar or bowl of chips clean and uncluttered for maximum energy flow.
- Handle with a little extra care. As natural volcanic glass, Obsidian chips can have sharp edges.
Crystal Care Guide
Chips work as a distributed field, spread across many small points rather than one central piece. Cleanse the full batch monthly or after any period of heavy energy or tension in the space.
How to Cleanse Your Black Obsidian Chips
- Moonlight Spread the chips on a cloth near an open window on the Full Moon night and leave overnight. The most complete cleanse for a full batch.
- Smudging Move sage, palo santo, or frankincense smoke thoroughly over the entire spread of chips.
- Sound Cleansing Place the chips in a bowl near a singing bowl and let the vibration work through them for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Running Water As natural volcanic glass, Obsidian can handle a brief rinse well, but avoid sudden temperature changes such as hot water after cold storage, which can cause fine cracking.
Recharging
- After cleansing, hold the batch in cupped hands and restate your intention clearly. This refreshes the energetic programming.
- Place in indirect morning sunlight for 20 to 30 minutes to recharge. Avoid direct concentrated sunlight.
Note
Each Black Obsidian chip is a unique natural piece with a smooth, glass-like fracture. Some chips may show a subtle sheen or natural banding. Chip size within a batch typically ranges from 5mm to 15mm, and edges may be naturally sharp.
