Lava Stone
Purification & Self-Mastery
Obsidian is the part of Hell that has repented and come to accept the Light of Creation. It is not forged in the depths but on the earth's surface, where fire meets the sky. Upon rising to the earth, it is touched by the breath of the Creator and illuminated by His light. In that transformative moment, Obsidian sheds its chaotic origins and reflects the divine beauty of Creation.

Obsidian's Origin
glass from lava
From the volcanic eruptions, Obsidian is formed as molten lava meets the earth’s surface and cools into a sleek, glass-like stone. These same volcanoes, which shape the land with their power, also give rise to fertile soils where lush life thrives. Obsidian stands as a symbol of this renewal, emerging from the same forces that create and sustain life.
A Mirror to the soul
Obsidian calls us to rise, to accept the breath and light of Creation, and to reflect His purpose in all we do. It stands as a symbol of clarity, transformation, and the beauty of redemption.
-Elías Meraz
Merging the Physical and spiritual
“Stones are reminders of the strength and stability of creation, reflecting the inner harmony that God placed in all things.”
-Saint Hildgard Von Bingen (1098-1175 A.D.)

Did you know?
The word "Obsidian" originates from the Latin term "Obsidianus lapis," which translates to "Obsidian stone." According to Pliny the Elder, a Roman naturalist, the name is derived from a man named Obsidius (or Obsius), who was said to have discovered a similar volcanic glass in Ethiopia. Over time, the name evolved into "Obsidian," referring to the shiny, glass-like volcanic rock we know today.
