Caring for Your Obsidian Jewelry

Although obsidian is durable, it requires special care. Rinse it under cool running water monthly to keep its protective properties active. Store it safely, away from direct impacts that could chip the stone due to its characteristic brittleness.

To enhance its protective energy, many people expose their obsidian to moonlight overnight. Avoid harsh chemicals; warm water and a soft cloth are sufficient for cleaning. If your obsidian ever breaks, don't discard it—many believe it has fulfilled its protective purpose by absorbing negative energy.
