Snowflake Obsidian is the most contemplative of the Obsidian family — its white cristobalite inclusions within a dark matrix carry a meaning that is almost literal: the presence of light within darkness, and the value of contrast in finding your way to balance. It teaches that mistakes contain information, that recognizing the right moment to change course is wisdom rather than weakness, and that the mind, body, and spirit can be brought into genuine alignment when you are willing to be still and honest. A stone for those in the process of learning something difficult about themselves, and for doing that learning with something approaching grace.
