Black Crystal---What is it?

[Dayna]

Hi all! So awhile ago I purchased a Black Crystal. I don't believe its Onyx or Jet---for mine is more a "matte" black with gray blocks of color. It's beautiful and I DO know that it was supposed to "ground" and "protect," but for the life of me---I cannot figure out what it is!! My husband said he thought it was "obsidian" or something. I do not know how to post a picture, or I would include it.

Thanks
Dayna =)

Hi, Dayna,
Smokey quartz comes in black, hope that helps.

Take it outside hold it to the sun if you can see the light its probably obsidian. But without a photo its kind of hard to tell.

[Jane Adams]

Were you able to ID your black crystal??
luv & light Jane.

Your crystal could be smokey quartz, if you take it out side and hold it up to the sun light should have some rainbows in it. I fit is black obsidian the sun light you should see color on top of the stone. It is are to say with a photo of the stone, Good luck,

The authors of Book of Stones have many of the pages from their book up on their website - Heaven and Earth - take a look at the Tibetan Black Quartz and see if that might be it.

And I recently purchased a Tibetan black quartz crystal - here is a picture:
