The obsidian has a cool, weighty feel in the hand that I didn't expect from a wand this size. I've been using it for about ten minutes each evening and the density really does make it feel more substantial than my old one. The smooth surface glides nicely with just a little oil.
I was skeptical about the "grounding" thing but honestly the cool slick feel of the obsidian against my skin is oddly calming. It warms up fast too, maybe a minute in hand. Never thought a wand would make me feel this connected to myself.
The obsidian has a cool, solid weight that makes it feel genuinely grounding, not like a gimmick. I use it after long workdays and the smooth polished surface glides easily with a little oil. Didn't expect to feel this connected to a piece of stone.
