Black Obsidian Merkaba Star

Overview

This beautifully polished Black Obsidian Merkaba Star combines the protective symbolism traditionally associated with obsidian with the sacred geometric form of the Merkaba.

Each piece is carved into a three-dimensional star tetrahedron, created from two interlocking tetrahedral forms. The highly polished black surface highlights the dramatic appearance of natural obsidian while the geometric shape makes it an eye-catching addition to crystal collections, meditation spaces, altars, desks, or decorative displays.

Black Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, formed when silica-rich volcanic lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth.

Disclaimer

Black Obsidian is a natural material, so minor variations in color, sheen, inclusions, polish, carving, and surface characteristics are normal. Due to the handcrafted nature of carved stones, each Merkaba may vary slightly from the examples photographed.

Please handle carefully. The pointed geometry may feel sharp, and broken or chipped obsidian can produce sharp edges.
