Smooth round black stone bead pendant

I believe the stones to be obsidian. Silver wire wrapped black stone beads. Artisan made from Etsy. Pendant only no chain included. Pendant is approx 1 inch long. This pendant would look nice on a petite silver chain. * Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed from lava when it cools rapidly. Obsidian was used by Native Americans and many other early peoples for weapons, implements, tools, and ornaments and by the ancient Aztec/ancient Greek civilizations for mirrors. A strongly protective stone, it forms a shield against negativity. It blocks psychic attack and absorbs negative energies from the environment. Obsidian draws out mental stress and tension. It stimulates growth on all levels, urging exploration of the unknown and opening new horizons.
