Obsidian Protection Pendant Necklace

Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed the moment molten rock meets cold air, and it has been worn for protection and grounding for as long as people have carried stone.

Worn close to the body, it is the stone you reach for when you want to feel steadier, less pulled about by other people's moods and the noise of a hard day. This pendant comes carved into one of several guardians, each with its own meaning:

• Pixiu, the feng shui creature of wealth and protection.
• Zhong Kui, the traditional queller of unsettled spirits.
• Guan Kong, the guardian of loyalty and safe passage.
• Fox, for sharp thinking and quick wits.

Choose the one whose meaning sits closest to what you are carrying.
