If you are very sensitive, start with 1-2 hours a day before wearing it continuously. If you feel tired or troubled after a few days, take a break and purify it — this is a sign that it has absorbed a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich wrist should I wear it on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTradition suggests the left wrist (black stone of reception, which absorbs). You can alternate if it feels tired on one side. You can also simply wear it on the side you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObsidian needs frequent purification (once a week if worn daily) — it's its nature to capture energies. Soak in coarse salt for 24 hours, or run under clear water for 5 minutes. Recharge under the moon. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be worn daily?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but with care. Avoid showering, swimming, intense sports — the elastic will wear out with prolonged humidity.
