An obelisk is a polished stone in a tapering column ending in a pointed tip – a calm yet powerful shape. This piece is made of deep black tourmaline, whose satiny surface gives an assured, grounded look.
About black tourmaline
Black tourmaline is one of the best-known grounding minerals, recognised by its dark, lengthwise-striated crystals. In tradition it is known as a stone of protection, cleansing and grounding, and many regard it as a companion against unsettling influences. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
The obelisk shape
The obelisk is an ancient, powerful shape, also called a 'column of light' and regarded as a symbol of renewal. Placed in a living room or study, the feng shui tradition holds it harmonises the space, while its pointed tip gathers attention to a single point.
Use
The obelisk is an elegant, assured decorative object on a table, a shelf or a desk. Its deep black tone gives a calm base to any space and looks lovely beside lighter stones or plants.
Good to know
This is a natural mineral, so size, surface and pattern vary from piece to piece and may differ from the picture. It can be wiped with a soft cloth.
