Gold Sheen Obsidian Jewelry

Golden obsidian jewelry has a particular magnetism. This deep black, streaked with shimmering golden reflections, gives each bead or cabochon a warm and mysterious glow found in no other stone. Golden obsidian is, like its black cousin, a volcanic glass formed by the ultra-rapid cooling of lava. Its golden reflections come from tiny gas bubbles trapped during cooling, which create brilliant inclusions beneath the surface. This is nature at its most spectacular: a volcanic catastrophe that produces a jewel.

In lithotherapy, golden obsidian shares the protective properties of black obsidian but with a brighter and gentler approach. Where black obsidian unceremoniously confronts shadow areas, golden obsidian illuminates dark parts with benevolence. It works on the solar plexus chakra and the root chakra, combining protection and self-confidence. It is a stone that helps to regain personal power, free oneself from victim or self-sabotage patterns, and move forward with clarity and determination. It is recommended for people who need to protect themselves while maintaining a sunny and positive energy.

Golden obsidian pairs well with tiger's eye (reinforced confidence), citrine (optimism and abundance), or clear quartz (amplification). The duo of golden obsidian and rose quartz is also very interesting for balancing solar protection and heart gentleness. For maintenance, a rinse with clear water and recharging in moonlight or soft sunlight are sufficient. With a hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, golden obsidian is a natural glass that scratches more easily than quartz; avoid direct impacts and store it separately.
