That sounds pretty! When do you think you'll try it out?

Le Fanu, does your Scrying Mirror have a frame like a real mirror or is it a slate? Have you had any luck scrying yet? Also, does it have any particular qualities to it?
I got my sphere in the mail and it isn't pitch black, it actually has gold sparkles through it. Does anyone know the qualities of golden obsidian compared to black? It doesn't have an intense amount of gold but I feel it's enough to have different characteristics.
My mirror is totally black. Looks like a 1cm thick slab of glass, but it's definitely Obsidian. It is absolutely beautiful, I'm madly in love with it. I had a crystal (probably glass) ball and would sit trying to scry but there's something about the roundness of it which distracted me (all the refractions & distortions of what was around me). My mirror has no frame. I tip it slightly so it reflects the blank, white ceiling and so there is nothing in the reflection to distract me. I find that I see swirls and cloudiness very quickly. No shapes, no recognisable forms at all. But I'm not trying for that. I see it as a meditative aid. I relax, light candles, blank my mind, gaze into the mirror and lose myself and feel myself entering another state, quite literally a sinking feeling. Maybe it's just relaxation, but I love it. I don't feel even slightly tempted to get a ball. The Mirror is perfect and not at all heavy (it is about 15cm diameter) to hold as I imagine a ball would be after 10 minutes. I also bought a beautiful obsidian palmstone last week. I just LOVE obsidian. I love rocks/stones which almost feel manmade/fake! There is something so smooth and flawless about black obsidian...Ethereal_Phoenix said:Le Fanu, does your Scrying Mirror have a frame like a real mirror or is it a slate?
