Obsidian black in roller bottle

$7.65

A 10 ml roller bottle with a matched black obsidian rolling ball, made for carrying and applying your own oil blends. Obsidian is the volcanic glass of scrying mirrors and protective work.

Obsidian is volcanic glass, lava cooled so fast it never had time to crystallise.

Origin & Traditional Use

This is a glass roller bottle fitted with a smooth black obsidian rolling ball, made for storing your own essential oil or condition oil blends and rolling them onto skin, candles or tools. Black obsidian has a long history as a mirror and blade stone, and in modern magick it is used for protection, grounding and scrying.
