Obsidian
Here’s a hot tip: Never call obsidian “sharp as a knife.” You might insult it, and this is one rock that can cut! A kind of nature-made glass with edges sharper than steel, obsidian cuts so precisely it’s used as a surgical tool by surgeons in hospitals to this day. And while this sharpness makes obsidian an excellent tool and fierce weapon, it also makes it quite fragile and easy to shatter. By definition a young rock, over time it slowly crystallizes, losing its cutting edge much like an aging athlete or warrior. If obsidian shows up for you, think of it as a message from a young warrior at the height of their abilities, urging you to get sharp and prepare for action. But keep in mind that, while it might be time to act, you’ll want to move ahead with precision, caution, and intent, because sharp edges cut both ways, and you’re far from unbreakable.
The Bottom Line
STAY SHARP
