Golden Sheen Obsidian Tumbled Stone - 20-30 mm
Product Description
This Gold Sheen Obsidian Tumbled Stone is a polished black volcanic glass with a soft golden to bronzy shimmer that sweeps across the surface as it turns under light. The sheen sits over a deep black base, giving the stone a quiet metallic glow. Smooth and glassy, the Gold Sheen Obsidian has the cool, even feel of polished obsidian.
Gold Sheen Obsidian is traditionally associated with manifestation, abundance, and confidence, often used for setting goals and clearing away self-doubt. People commonly keep it on a desk, hold it while focusing on intentions, or carry it as a motivating piece. The golden sheen gives it a warmer, more aspirational reputation than plain black obsidian.
Every Gold Sheen Obsidian piece is natural volcanic glass and unique, with the position and strength of its golden sheen varying from the example shown.

Geological Information
Gold Sheen Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass of silicon dioxide, amorphous rather than crystalline, with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5. Its golden to bronzy shimmer sits over a black base and is caused by layers of microscopic gas bubbles or tiny feldspar crystallites oriented parallel to the original lava flow, which reflect light as a sheen. It is a natural variation of black obsidian formed in the same volcanic process, when silica-rich lava cools too quickly for crystals to develop. Gold Sheen Obsidian is sourced primarily from Mexico.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Gold Sheen Obsidian is a volcanic glass (Mohs 5 to 5.5) and can scratch or chip if knocked or dropped. Handle it gently and store it apart from harder stones; a chipped edge can be sharp.
