Obsidian mirror Aztec calendar - 30cm, Mexico

Since the Paleolithic and Neolithic, obsidian has been used to make tools, mainly scrapers, spearheads or knives. The oldest archaeological find documenting the use of obsidian dates back to Mesopotamia, approximately 9,000 years ago. In South America, it was used by Indian tribes as protection against evil forces, and processed objects made of obsidian have survived. It is attributed to magical properties to this day.

The obsidian mirror from Mexico is an exceptional piece of hand-polished natural obsidian, which stands out for its dark depth and mirror-like shine. This type of obsidian is traditionally associated with introspection, knowledge and inner balance.

It was already used in ancient times by shamans, mystics and alchemists - not as a tool for "divination", but as a means of contemplation, self-knowledge and inner insight. According to tradition, the shiny, dark surface of the mirror reflects not only the face, but also the deeper layers of consciousness.

The origin of these mirrors dates back to Mesoamerican cultures, especially the Aztecs, who considered obsidian a stone of “divine fire”. In alchemy, it was a symbol of transformation and transition between light and shadow – a mirror between worlds that shows not illusions, but the truth.

This large obsidian mirror with a diameter of 30 cm comes from Mexico – a country where the tradition of working with obsidian dates back to the times of the Aztecs. It is made of genuine natural obsidian, a volcanic stone with a characteristic black, mirror-like surface.

The front side is precisely engraved with the Aztec calendar - the stone of the Sun, a symbol of cyclical time, transformation and connection between the worlds. The back side is perfectly polished and smooth, ready to be used as a mirror for introspection or meditation.

This type of mirror has been used for centuries by shamans, mystics and alchemists - not for divination, but as a tool of inner alchemy. Looking into obsidian symbolizes looking into the depths of consciousness - into the space where light and darkness meet and turn into knowledge.

In the alchemical tradition, obsidian is perceived as a stone of transformation - it helps to reflect what remains hidden and transform the shadow into understanding. In the shamanic concept, it represents a gateway between the worlds, a tool of protection and insight.
