Snowflake Obsidian is a black volcanic glassy rock
containing spherulite inclusions of a white or grayish-white mineral that
resembles snowflakes on its surface.
Mined in Utah, it is a favorite cabochon stone of rock hounds because of
its translucent patterns.
Snowflake Obsidian acts on the Inner Being to strengthen
Consistency. Consistency is the
emotional steadiness that comes from being a levelheaded, balanced and
even-tempered person. It is the ability
to keep your emotions on a steady course, on an even keel, so that you don't
have wild mood swings. It is the ability
to rein in your emotions, especially in stressful situations, and keep them
from getting out of control. And it is
also the ability to be your best for those around you, on an ongoing basis.
If you are a consistent person, you don't have a lot of
severe ups and downs. You usually behave
in the same manner under the same circumstances, and you don't fluctuate
drastically in your motivations and behavior.
You behave predictably to people who know you well, because you always
act in a manner that reflects who you really are. Your emotional composure keeps you from
suddenly flitting from one way of being to another, or from one attitude to
another. And if you are going to change,
you let those around you know by doing it in a gentle and gradual way.
Consistency has both a doing side and a knowing side. The doing side is operating your life in a
consistent and even-tempered way. The
knowing side is recognizing what is consistent, both in yourself and others. It is being able to see consistency in people
so that you know who you can count on to be consistent. The doing and knowing side of consistency
work together as two sides of the same duality.
This means that as you develop the ability to recognize consistency in
people, you also become a more consistent person yourself.
When you know that someone close to you is a consistent
person, you feel comfortable and relaxed with him. You know you can be yourself around him
because you don't have to worry about him flying off the handle, for example,
if you should happen to say the wrong thing.
You have faith in his stability, and you know you can count on him to be
steady, centered and emotionally unruffled almost all the time. You also know that on the rare occasions when
he does get emotionally upset, there is always a good reason for it.
If you have trouble being consistent, you spend a
significant amount of time not operating at your best. You tend to be erratic and changeable in your
behavior, and your life is sometimes chaotic and out of control. You find it difficult to hold on to
relationships because you can be loving and demonstrative one day, and cold and
uncaring the next. Others can't possibly
know what to expect from you because you never do things the same way twice.
Also, you often respond in ways that you yourself can't predict, and this
produces a great deal of confusion in your life.
