Product Description

Maximum quantity available reached.

Black Obsidian – A Keeper of Protection, Grounding & Deep Emotional Strength

A Black Obsidian Bead Strand etched with the sacred mantra Om Mani Padme Hum combines the grounding power of Obsidian with the spiritual resonance of one of the most widely cherished Tibetan Buddhist mantras. Black Obsidian is known for encouraging clarity, security, and emotional grounding, while the etched mantra adds a layer of spiritual intention, compassion, and mindful presence.

For jewellery creators, bead strands offer exceptional value, consistency, and design freedom. Buying by the strand provides enough beads for multiple pieces — bracelets, necklaces, malas, earrings, keyrings or intention‑based designs — while keeping your cost per bead low. This gives you:

  • Higher profit margins on handmade collections
  • Matching beads for cohesive sets
  • Reliable colour & symbol consistency
  • A strong spiritual theme for your product line

Each strand becomes a powerful fusion of grounding energy and sacred symbolism, ready to be shaped into meaningful spiritual jewellery.


About the Etched ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ Symbol

This ancient mantra translates loosely to “the jewel in the lotus”, and is associated with:

  • compassion
  • spiritual awakening
  • heartfelt intention
  • purification of the mind
  • protection and inner stillness
  • connection to higher guidance

On beads, it acts as a prayer wheel in miniature — a reminder of compassion and mindful awareness, carried with you throughout the day.


Form & Structure

Number of Beads per Strand: 45-48
Approx. Length of Strand: 

Each strand contains polished Black Obsidian beads, with selected beads carefully etched with the sacred Tibetan mantra.
Colours may include glossy jet black, soft smoky undertones, or subtle grey inclusions — all natural expressions of Obsidian’s volcanic origin.

Perfect for malas, meditation bracelets, spiritual jewellery, intention pieces, and grounding ritual tools.


Natural Inclusions & Variations

Black Obsidian forms from rapidly cooled volcanic lava, leading to natural variations such as:

  • smoky or cloudy veils
  • tiny reflective patches
  • flow lines from cooling
  • dark mineral inclusions

These markings tell the story of fire, transformation and rapid creation — making each bead uniquely powerful.


Assorted Crystals – Important Note

When a product is labelled “assorted,” the strands shown are examples only. The one you receive will be similar in quality and beauty but not identical.
Each bead varies naturally in tone, reflectiveness and pattern — exactly as nature intended.


Note on Dyed, Frosted or Heat‑Treated Beads

Some beads in the marketplace — especially agate, quartz and other porous stones — may be dyed to enhance colour, frosted for a matte finish, or heat‑treated to deepen tones. These treatments affect appearance only; the core crystal remains the same, and the bead still carries the natural metaphysical properties of the original mineral. These enhancements are normal and widely accepted in the bead and jewellery‑making world.


Healing and Metaphysical Properties of Black Obsidian

  • Encouraging grounding, steadiness and emotional protection

    OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

    We are a small business and our Inspire Me Store in Palmerston North is also our warehouse. While we do our best to ensure that our stock levels are correct, we sometimes find that the system says we have more of something than we actually do (e.g. shoplifting). If the product you ordered is not available we will contact you and give you the opportunity to choose from the following…

    • Refund
    • Wait for us to get one for you
    • Choose another item
