Terrific 4 1/2" Obsidian Turtle 

Description:  It is difficult to tell in some of the pictures, but this obsidian turtle has nice rings of sheen around the shell.  
A very protective stone, Obsidian is excellent for removing negativity. It is a very grounding, healing stone. In particular Obsidian protects the gentle from abuse. It sharpens and focuses internal and external vision and helps get in touch with buried issues before they explode.
