Obsidian is a mineral-like rock formed as a result of rapidly cooled lava. Pure obsidian is dark in appearance, though the color varies depending on the presence of impurities. Iron and other transition elements may give the obsidian a dark brown to black color.

Black obsidian contains the most potent energies, such as the elements of fire, water, and earth. Obsidian is said to be a protective stone guarding a person against negative energy.
