A captivating hand-carved Black Obsidian cat figurine — a sleek, mysterious piece that combines the powerful protective energy of volcanic obsidian with the enigmatic symbolism of the cat. At 6cm, this makes a striking display piece, crystal altar addition, or unique gift for crystal lovers and cat enthusiasts alike.

Geology: Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly, preventing crystal growth. Its deep, mirror-like black colour comes from iron and magnesium content. Found near volcanic regions worldwide — including Mexico, Iceland, and the USA — it has been prized by humans for tools, ceremonial objects, and ornaments for thousands of years.

Physical Properties:

  • Composition: Volcanic glass (approx. 70% SiO₂)
  • Hardness: 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale
  • Lustre: Vitreous to resinous
  • Transparency: Opaque
  • Fracture: Conchoidal
  • Specific gravity: 2.35–2.60

In crystal healing traditions, Black Obsidian is a powerful stone of protection and grounding — associated with the root chakra, psychic shielding, truth-seeking, and the release of negative energy. The cat is a symbol of independence, intuition, mystery, and guardianship, revered across cultures from ancient Egypt to modern folklore — making this carving a meaningful talisman as well as a beautiful ornament.

  • Stone: Natural Black Obsidian
  • Size: Approx. 6cm
  • Form: Hand-carved cat figurine
  • Use: Crystal display, altar decor, protection, gifting, collecting

As a natural volcanic glass, minor surface variations and inclusions are characteristic of genuine obsidian. Each carving is unique.
