Obsidian in its pure black form is an excellent scrying stone. Its fast-acting abilities are likely due to its molten lava birth, cooling so quickly it doesn't crystalize. This powerful truth-telling stone draws your shadow self to the surface and makes clear any past issues yet to be overcome.

Snowflake obsidian shares this ability; but with its softer, snow-white flakes, it offers a gentler energy when showing us these inner truths. This stone draws emotions to the surface and supports our navigation of them. It teaches us not to deny our true selves. This stone attunes us to our environments and promotes our psychic sensitivities.
