Shadows at Midnight ~ Black Obsidian and Chatoyant Malachite Beads
This creation, like diving into a pool of water in a forest at midnight to be shown the truth of the way things are.
Black Obsidian is a very grounding and protective stone. It is used as a great cleanser of negative energies, helping to remove not only negativity experienced in the environment, but also that of one's own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc. Obsidian is often used for healing and releasing energy blockages, and has a tendency to work quickly to move truths to the surface to be resolved. It is is an energy that reveals truths.
These may not be the most comfortable truths you’ve ever faced. In fact, some of them may be downright harsh.
The thing that makes black obsidian meaning so powerful for those who have experienced it, is that it forces you to acknowledge behaviours or past actions that you’ve tried to ignore.
Even those regrettable decisions that you’ve successfully managed to justify in your mind will have to contend with black obsidian’s no-nonsense healing energy.
That’s not to say that it’s all confrontation with black obsidian stone.
It’s also a crystal for release.
Malachite has the ability to serve different purposes for different people. For those highly evolved and dedicated to humanitarian purposes, it assists in grounding higher energies onto the planet for those purposes. For those in a purification process, Malachite acts as a purger and a mirror to the subconscious, reflecting into the conscious mind that which needs to be cleansed.
Malachite can be a powerful ally for those waiting for their reality to change. It reminds us we have come here to co-create with the Universe, and helps in identifying the steps necessary to bring dreams, visions and wishes into physical reality. By doing so, we tap into infinite peace with both dark and light.
A creation not for the faint-hearted however a powerful ally for the devoted.

Obsidian
Obsdian is classified as Amorphous because it has no orderly internal atomic structure and no naturally occurring shape,due to its formation from the parent which is a Volcano. Obsidian is produced from felsic lava, rich in the lighter elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminium, sodium, and potassium. It is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows. These flows have a high content of silica, giving them a high viscosity. The high viscosity inhibits diffusion of atoms through the lava, which inhibits the first step (nucleation) in the formation of mineral crystals. Together with rapid cooling, this results in a natural glass forming from the lava.
Malachite
Malachite is a Monoclinic Crystal structure.
Atoms forms three axes, all of them are unequal in length, none of them are right angles to each other. Its shape is three dimensional like a cube, but it has been skewed or inclined to one side making it oblique. All crystal faces are parallel to each other.
Malachite is a powerful green copper carbonate hydroxide mineral that is green due to the Copper content.
Malachite is a deep green opaque gemstone with parallel bands and concentric rings, giving it a unique appearance. Its significance dates back to the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilisations, and its use has been important throughout the centuries. Malachite has historically been worn as a healing gemstone. It was used as a protection against the evil eye and given to children to wear to protect them from having nightmares.The famous Russian Malachite deposits were historically worked for use as a gemstone and carving stone, with Malachite being especially used in the house of the Russian Czars.
Copper is a conductor and excellent for energy redistribution, so is considered a Feminine energy and green corresponding to the heart space.Malachite is not toxic in polished form so is safe to wear and handle this pendant.
