Ships worldwide. This piece is held at our workshop and ships internationally.
One of a kind
Every carving is cut from its own block of rough. The photographs on this page show the exact piece you will receive — not a sample from the same batch.
Natural stone, untreated
100% natural stone, never dyed or reconstituted. Veins, inclusions and small shifts in colour are how the material formed; they are marks of origin rather than faults.
Carved by hand
Cut, shaped and polished by hand. Proportions differ a little from piece to piece because each one follows the block it came out of.
Checked and packed
Hand-inspected before dispatch and shipped in shockproof packaging.
Grounding & Protection
Obsidian is traditionally associated with the root chakra and is believed to draw scattered energy back down into the body — the reason it is so often kept by the door or carried while travelling.
Set it where you enter your home, or hold it in your palm for a minute before a difficult conversation.
Shadow Work
Long used as a scrying surface, obsidian is said to surface what is being avoided rather than soothe it. Practitioners reach for it during journalling, therapy weeks, and any honest reckoning with themselves.
Keep it beside your journal and hold it for a few breaths before writing the entry you would rather skip.
Clearing the Room
In folk practice obsidian is placed at thresholds and corners to mark the boundary of a space, and is believed to hold that edge steady when a room feels unsettled or over-full.
Place one in the darkest corner of a room after guests leave, or on the desk where the arguments happen.
Rest & Recovery
Its weight and cool surface make obsidian a common companion for winding down. It is believed to encourage the kind of stillness that lets the body settle after a long, over-stimulated day.
Rest it on the nightstand — not under the pillow; its energy is traditionally considered too active for sleep.
Why We Carve Skulls
The skull is the oldest symbol of transformation: what remains, what endures, what is left when everything temporary has gone. Cut in obsidian it reads less as death and more as clarity.
Turn it to face you when you want to be honest; turn it outward when you want to be left alone.
