Obsidian is molten lava that cools so quickly it has no time to crystalize. Snowflake obsidian allows you to see the dark and uncomfortable sides of your own nature, bringing you back into wholeness. A patterned stone, it is thought to help wearers see patterns in their own thoughts and behaviors. It's also believed that this material dissolves shocks, fears and traumas, dissolving both physical and emotional pains. Like a sky full of beautiful snowflakes, snowflake obsidian restores something: a deep, abiding sense of protection and reverence.
