Tilt this heart under a lamp and a warm golden shimmer glides across the black glass. Gold sheen obsidian is natural volcanic glass, and each heart is polished to a smooth, glossy finish that feels good in the hand. It measures about 52 by 55 millimeters.
Choose your weight, 60 to 90 grams or 90 to 100 grams, for a pocket heart or a slightly weightier desk piece. It is a thoughtful gift for Valentine's Day, anniversaries and anyone who collects crystal hearts, and it looks striking on an altar, bookshelf or meditation table. Because the sheen shifts with the light, no two hearts look exactly alike.
About Gold Sheen Obsidian
Obsidian forms when lava cools too quickly for crystals to grow, leaving a natural glass that breaks with smooth, curved fractures. The golden sheen comes from light reflecting off tiny inclusions of crystals or gas bubbles aligned inside the glass.
Stone Meaning: Gold sheen obsidian is traditionally associated with self-reflection and grounding.
