Silver Sheen Obsidian Palmstone

Like its golden counterpart, Silver Sheen Obsidian forms in much the same way with gas bubbles forming in the magma. This variety of Obsidian has a dark brown to black color, with sparkling silver inclusions reflecting over its surface. This shimmering effect is called chatoyancy. It is most visible when strong light hits the stone & reflects off the tiny gas bubbles trapped in the stone.

Obsidian is derived from the name Obsuis, a Roman explorer who was believed to have discovered the rock in Ethiopia. It is an extrusive rock, meaning it forms when lava comes out of a volcano & solidifies above the Earth's surface. It can form along the edges of a lava flow, a volcanic dome, or along a dike. It can also form when lava comes in contact with air or water.

The Aztecs used Obsidian as a material for scrying mirrors. Scrying involves gazing into a medium, hoping to receive significant messages or visions that could offer personal guidance, prophecy, revelation, or inspiration.

Silver Sheen Obsidian is known for its ability to absorb negativity from people, objects, & places.

In addition to driving away negative energies, Silver Sheen Obsidian assists with the removal of the mental clutter that prevents goal achievement. It may promote wisdom & patience to pursue objectives.
