About this product
Natural Black Obsidian Design Meets Functional Wellness
These Black Obsidian Baoding Balls are solid, polished gemstone with no internal chime. Obsidian forms when lava cools quickly into a natural glass, usually jet black and glossy. No two pairs look the same.
Rotate them in your palm and you’ll feel the cool weight of the stone and the subtle pressure on the acupuncture points of the hand. With regular use this simple motion can help:
- Improve finger dexterity and grip strength
- Ease hand and wrist stiffness
- Support stress relief and mindfulness
- Give your hands a focused, meditative workout you can do almost anywhere
About Black Obsidian
Obsidian has been used since early times for tools and as a stone of protection. It is sometimes called a truth stone, a reminder to see things clearly. Stone baoding balls are heavier and more fragile than metal sets, so they should be rotated with care. Small marks or variation in the glass are normal.

Helping with my hand pain and meditation.

I have had baoding balls for years, but this year I decided to give baoding balls to a number of people in my family for Christmas. They are all intrigued and are hard at work getting better at them.

I am loving the new Black Obsidian Baoding Balls. I wanted them previously, but they were out of stock at the time. Been using they daily since I received and took them on vacation.
Been a long time customer. Thank you for providing such great products.

Bought these several years ago and loved them. Bought another set and I can't live without them. I have extreme ADHD symptoms and this keeps me balanced and centered throughout the day. Thank you!!!
- Zane T.Verified
I was followed up with in a timely manner and I had a little different order as I got two different balls, they got everything correct. Thanks so much for working with me. I love them. exactly what I wanted!!

Love them

Gave a set to my Dad for his 81st birthday. The obsidian is amazing and he likes them a lot
- William H.Verified
These came in nice. Packaged well. The carry case that came with mine was nice too. They were nice and smooth. No spots or anything. This would be 5/5 if one tidbit of information was more prominent or included in the description. The obsidian balls are, possibly the only kind, unsuitable for rolling with them touching. They tend to grip and stick in weird ways.
I contact the supplier and they allowed me to exchange them for another pair suitable for that type of rolling. The customer service is an easy 5/5 stars. I’ve never had such a hassle free exchange or return. I’ll definitely be back!

I use these when I’m watching movies or reading and they definitely help keep my focus. Noticed myself reaching for my phone a lot during certain tasks such as these and figured these would be a healthy alternative to keep my hands busy and focus steady. They have! Love em to death, and they came quickly.

2nd time ordering from this company, fast delivery and shipment. Will be ordering from them again
- John H.Verified
The obsidian balls are great, a nice hefty feel in the hand. The zippered pouch is nice but I miss the fabric covered box with the clasp. That would have made 5 stars.

We bought 4 different sets to try out
All were small yet all varied in size
Also they all failed in weight
It has been fun experiencing all
One set the chimes sound off and one set was too light & the biggest
I would recommend this site to others and will return if we purchase more - Rene G.Verified
These balls are perfectly sized and smooth and very calming to swirl around in my palms when I need to focus on meditating.
- Saleen H.Verified
All I hoped they would be! They've held up fine with the thousands of times I've dropped them (on carpeted floor) as I've practiced rotating them in my hand without letting them touch. I really appreciate this fun exercise for my arthritic hands!
- Walter S.Verified
These obsidian Baoding are great. I use them just about everyday to relax, clear my mind and meditate. I would 10/10 recommend them.
- Robert H.Verified
Cheap case. Too much fiction between balls. They scratch
- BrandonVerified
Exactly what I was looking for. Good weight and very solid. Nice shine, too, when I wipe them down after use. Perfet for a desk fidgit toy, as well.
- Monique J.Verified
I love these boading balls. At first they seemed to big to fit comfortably in my hands ( I ordered the medium) , then I got used to them and they are really nice. The weight is not too heavy and they look and feel is flawless.
I may order another pair, but may try the small size. - Zackery N.Verified
Good weight and good size (large) balls. The zipper pouch is also nice as is the wood box.
- Miguel M.Verified
Greatest can’t wait to get more
- Charles D.Verified
Have not received them yet. Thinking about canceling and asking for a refund
- Kenneth R.Verified
My cousin beg me to give em to him so I need a new pair. Can you send them free of charge I’ll pay shipping
- Bernard K.Verified
Lighter than the steel balls, which I favor, but these feel good in your hands.
- JillVerified
This is a gift for my adult son, but I know that it is exactly what he wants and it was exactly as described. I purchased the large. They are large, but he is experienced and has large hands. Delivery was quick and packaging good. I purchased the stand for displaying and easy access. I also purchased several other sets with this order as gifts. Happy with all of my purchases.
- Fermin M.Verified
Wow, almost the same exact size as my favorite pair of balls. They’re a bit lighter but still fun to play with ;)
- Darius L.Verified
Title says it all. I've never been more focused and these certainly help. I'm in recovery now for 9.5 months and I've found meditation helps keep me focused and centered with the more sober time I achieve. These balls greatly assisted with that and they are beautifully crafted as well.
- Chris A.Verified
Great quality, fast shipping, good price. Thanks. I'll proba my be back for more!
- Jenny L.Verified
Been using these for a while now and I have a couple more sets but I always seem to come back to this one!
- Brandon B.Verified
I was so pleased with my order that i hadn't even had them a week before i ordered again. They were even better than i expected

Black Obsidian Baoding Balls
- Jenny L.Verified
I ordered the medium 1.5 inch size for myself and it came in just 3 days! My hands are somewhat small and these balls were the perfect size for a teenager like myself. They have a great weight to them and are very smooth. The only downfall to them is that if you use them and roll them against each other, sometimes they scratch against one another and make an unpleasing sound but other than that, they are superior!
- Javaris P.Verified
Should have purchased the next larger size but they are great. A little hand oil makes them slide better
- cmlVerified
Interesting material to be made into Baoding Balls. Service was very efficient. However, USPS failed to deliver merchandise on time because the package was initially sent to a different address.
- Jason E.Verified
Quick delivery and a high quality product.
- JaiVerified
Arrived quickly! Smooth and shiny, no imperfections. Can’t put them down. Look forward to ordering again soon!
- EMILIOVerified
Very satisfied with the product and service provided I will shop again in the future. 2 THUMBS UP!
- Bruce A.Verified
These grade a boading balls are excellent in every way
Of equal size they function as stress balls
They are beautifully polished
For those familiar with the properties of obsidian, this is a user friendly way to explore your shadow side
Based on this purchase I would highly recommend buying from this resource
Be well all

It may have taken a little while to receive, because of the coronavirus. but it made the wait much more rewarding to finally receive my Baoding balls and will be making other orders if purchase in the near future. It was worth the wait.
- Floyd H.Verified
The deep black color is mesmerizing. Perfect weight, size, super smooth and premium quality. Feel great in hands! Love it.
- EmanuelVerified
I really like these very nice good weight and very fair black
- Wade F.Verified
Great
- Rudolph D.Verified
Nice quality..
- Asa W.Verified
I fidget with my hands a lot and these are perfect for that.
- OntarioVerified
I’ve always had the habit of twisting pens when I read/study so I tried these as a substitution. They’re a great addition! Thank you.
- CVerified
Came on time and in perfect condition.

Let's start with the very fast shipping. I ordered from another website before finding these and they have arrived before those.
I ordered B grade obsidian, they have a good feel to them, weight wise. But since they are B grade they come with clear marks and abrasions (which they state) and you can feel them as you roll them around. I would suggest spending the extra cash to get grade A quality balls. I will be ordering from this site again, probably with the steel chrome next time.
- Rob KVerified
These were a great purchase! Stone was very smooth and deeply black (as hoped). Would highly recommend.
