Obsidian that earns its place
Black obsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools so rapidly that no crystalline structure has time to develop. Mineralogists classify it as a mineraloid rather than a true mineral, meaning it lacks a repeating atomic lattice. That amorphous structure is part of what gives it that glassy, almost wet-looking surface and its tendency to fracture into razor-sharp edges. Cultures from Mesoamerican to Anatolian have used it for blades and mirrors for thousands of years, long before anyone had a word for “crystal healing.”
I stock these because the wire-wrap method is genuinely the right choice for raw points. Drilling a hole through a natural obsidian tip risks splitting the stone, and it destroys the taper that makes a point visually striking. Wrapping the pewter wire around the body of the stone lets the natural point extend below the bail intact. The result is a pendant that wears like jewelry and keeps the stone’s original geometry. You’re not getting a shaped cabochon; you’re getting the actual point as it came from the earth.
Five pendants in a set makes this practical beyond personal use. If you’re a maker, a reseller, or someone who gifts crystals regularly, a five-pack gives you inventory without committing to a flat of fifty. Obsidian’s association with grounding and psychic protection is common in modern crystal practice, which means these sell across customer types. I find that pendants in this size range, around 1 3/8 inches, hit a sweet spot: visible enough to wear as a statement piece, compact enough to layer with other pendants.
How to use a wire-wrapped obsidian point pendant
Use these three steps to select, charge, and deploy a wire-wrapped obsidian point pendant.
- Choose your wearer
Hold each pendant and notice the weight and natural point shape. Obsidian varies in gloss and surface texture, so pick the piece that resonates or let the recipient choose. Each arrives wire-wrapped and ready to wear.
- Set your intention
Grip the pendant in both hands and speak a grounding or protection intention quietly or aloud. Obsidian is commonly linked to clearing stagnant energy, so a simple statement of purpose helps anchor your practice.
- Wear or place it
Thread a cord or chain through the wire bail and wear the point against the body, or lay it flat on an altar near the root chakra area. For gifting, pair it with a short note about obsidian's volcanic origin.
The Tarot Fellow standard
I carry these from a supplier I’ve worked with consistently for years. They don’t change specs quietly; if the wire wrapping method or stone sourcing shifts, I hear about it. The obsidian points in this line come through reliably with that characteristic glassy black surface. The pewter wire wrap is secure; I’ve handled enough of these to say they don’t arrive bent or unraveling.
One practical note: obsidian chips. It’s glass, and that’s not a flaw, it’s the nature of the material. Don’t toss these loose into a bag with keys or other stones. If you’re shipping them to customers, wrap each one individually. The pewter wire will also tarnish over time if it’s in contact with moisture or skin oils for extended periods, so store them in a dry pouch or cloth.

Frequently asked questions
Each pendant is wrapped in pewter wire, which gives it a cool silvery tone that pairs well with the deep black of the obsidian. Pewter is durable and holds its shape, so the wrap stays tight with normal daily wear.
No chain or cord is included. The bail loop of the wire wrap fits most standard cord or chain widths. I carry neck chains and cords separately if you need them, so it's easy to build out the full look.
Yes, that's exactly what this set is built for. Five pendants let you stock a display, build gift sets, or offer variety to customers who want protective stone jewelry. Each one arrives ready to hang or package.
Wipe the stone with a soft dry cloth. Obsidian is volcanic glass and can chip if dropped on hard surfaces, so handle with care. Avoid prolonged water exposure to protect the pewter wire from tarnishing over time.
