• Golden obsidian accelerates the healing of injuries – especially of muscles and tendons –, wounds, bruises, etc. (applied to the area).
• On the heart chakra, it allows you to get rid of pessimistic tendencies and the ability to only see the negative aspect in all circumstances and in others.

• Stone of high spirituality
• A stone of truth, golden obsidian connects us to our deepest self (our Divine Presence), raising to consciousness the negative aspects buried following physical, emotional or psychological blockages.
• Our "Shadow" (self-shadow) is thus revealed so that it can be freed and replaced with the energy of Love and Harmony which will allow us to find our fullness. This process takes place in gentleness and the certainty of good.

• To do this, the stone should be worn at the level of the solar plexus chakra (approximately 4 finger widths above the navel) either all day, during a session or while sleeping with it.
• It will purify and recharge this Chakra.
• If necessary, it can be combined with pink or green stones on the Heart Chakra, stones for liver harmonization (rhyolite, yellow jasper, Unakite, rutile quartz, etc.).
• This is a very effective stone for regaining a sense of optimism in life. If this stone doesn't particularly appeal to you, it may be that the time to resolve your problems hasn't come yet (or that another one will be more suitable for you).
• It can be worn or placed on all the chakras to harmonize them and de-crystallize stagnant energies. For the development of extrasensory faculties and connection to the highest higher planes, it will be used on the 3rd eye, the crown chakra and trans-personal (cosmic door located 30 cm above the 7th chakra).
• Golden obsidian connects us to the Christic energy, considerably increasing our vibrational rate, facilitating channeling with the Beings of Light of the higher hierarchies. In connection with the 12 rays of God consciousness, that is to say the 7 Sacred rays and the 5 Galactic rays in particular the 12th Golden ray. What more could you want?

Purification and recharge:

• The recharging of this stone, which falls into the classification of “solar” stones, is done in the sun, in the earth or on a quartz or rock crystal geode.
• This mineral repels negative energies and does not require purification. Obsidian recharges by placing it on a cluster of druse, in moonlight (especially a full moon), in the sun, or in front of flames.
• It is a stone from the bowels of the earth, from molten lava, it is a stone of FIRE, which deserves the greatest respect.
• A shamanic, magical and medicinal stone.
