When we rise to spiritual heights that are too high, the snowflake obsidian will help us find our way down. It confrunts us with the truth and shows our true inner self and our shadow aspects. It identifies and purifies the emotions and brings us to reality.
Tarot interpretation: Control by others. Injury, shadow aspect, materialism, dependence, lack of success, arrogance, moodiness, immorality, lies, difficulties. Going against our better knowledge. Egotism and bad influences. Denial of the shadow aspect.
Light aspect: Liberation, spiritual perception, overcoming fear of freeing oneself from bonds.
