Origin & Lore
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.
Obsidian is volcanic glass, lava cooled so fast it never had time to crystallise.
In Mesoamerica obsidian was used for blades and polished mirrors, and the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca, Smoking Mirror, was named for an obsidian mirror. An Aztec obsidian mirror used by an Elizabethan occultist for scrying spirits is now held in the British Museum.
Did You Know?
Polished obsidian mirrors were already being made at Çatalhöyük in Anatolia around 6000 BCE.
