The Obsidian Mirror is a very powerful stone, which will make you see truths like fists, hence it is often called "the stone of truth". Following this thread, it is currently used for meditation works and also for different healing therapies.

Contemplating the smoky depths of the obsidana mirrors allowed travel to other times and places, to the world of the gods and ancestors.

Obsidian mirrors present an apt metaphor for images of ancient Mexican sites and objects: they reflect both the observer and the observed at the same time.

The obsidian mirror was the principal attribute of the Meshica deity Tezcatlipoca, whose name means 'smoky mirror'. A supreme deity of Anahuac and the patron of the ruling houses, Tezcatlipoca was the lord of the night and all its creatures-especially the jaguar, a powerful animal thought capable of crossing between the realm of earth and the underworld.

For years the Obsidian Mirror was linked to divination, today curiously its uses are multiple since they are not only limited to the world of divination.

Obsidian mirrors are also highly prized for the mineral's own virtues.
