🌑✨ Obsidian Crystal Sphere from Mexico! ✨🌑

Origin: Mexican Obsidian Mines
Obsidian, a natural volcanic glass, has been integral to Mesoamerican cultures for millennia. Notably, the Sierra de las Navajas in Hidalgo boasts some of the world’s largest obsidian deposits, including rare varieties like golden obsidian. These mines have been active since pre-Hispanic times, supplying material for tools, weapons, and ceremonial artifacts.
Ancient Ceremonial Uses of Obsidian Spheres
In ancient Mesoamerican societies, obsidian was more than a utilitarian material; it held deep spiritual significance. Crafted into spheres, obsidian was used in various ceremonial contexts, symbolizing a connection between the physical and divine realms. These artifacts often accompanied offerings, serving as conduits to the spiritual world.
