Black Obsidian Athame Dagger Carving

Overview

This striking Black Obsidian Athame Dagger Carving is a polished decorative crystal piece featuring a long pointed blade and an intricately carved handle. Its deep black, glass-like surface creates a dramatic appearance while subtle natural variations become visible as the stone catches the light.

Black obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. It has been shaped into blades and ceremonial objects by cultures throughout history because of its ability to form exceptionally sharp edges.

This modern carving is intended as a decorative, collectible, spiritual, or altar piece rather than a functional knife.
