Enjoy Black Obsidian Spheres in the variety called Gold Sheen. It makes a nice statement piece on a shelf or desk. And when not holding them – to help the energy of a room as it evenly sends out healing help in all directions. Pair them with the medium size stand to hold it safely.

The right ball is larger than the left. Dimensions are for the left sphere.

This crystal promotes energetic protection. It reveals the truth in any situation and exposes areas of yourself that need growth and development. These are the most powerful of all the varieties of obsidian. And the shimmers of gold will help your optimism and sunny view moving foward.

If you are not wanting a ball then consider the gold sheen palm stone. The reflections and dust particles slightly distort the look. If you cannot get those in the photo, we will intuit from shop stock and you pay a little less.

If buying for someone else, this variety is unlikely to be in their collection. They are my last spheres in this form don’t know when more will be in stock. Consider the towers here and palm stones here.

Both gold sheen obsidian spheres (or black obsidian spheres) shimmer so enjoy seeing them in the video.

Geological Information

Geological Information of Obsidian Family

Naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock which cools too quick to create crystals bigger than micro.

Member of Group: Chrysoberyl
Mohs Hardness: 5 - 6
Crystal Habit: Amorphous
Lustre / Diaphaneity: Translucent, Vitreous, Glassy

Snowflake obsidian, formed through the inclusion of cristobalite crystals.
Mahogany obsidian is a combination of red brown and black colours due to magnetite or haematite oxidising within the Obsidian.
Apache tears are small rounded obsidian nuggets often embedded within a grayish-white perlite matrix.

Obsidian in green, blue, aquamarine/aqua, peach, purple, yellow

The real green obsidian from Middle East ran out some years ago.
What is sold on market is actually coloured man-made glass, often made in Indonesia.
- some vendors sell as "we are not sure if real" if you question them but I have found no positive proof that there is natural supply over the ten year.
- Helenite obsidian is at least melted down ask from Mt St Helens, USA.
  - The silica, aluminium, iron, and trace amounts of chromium and copper present in the rocks and ash in the area, combined with the heat of the torches, transformed the volcanic particles into a compound
Appearance: Transparent
Aquamarine obsidian is now being sold as just aquamarine.

Special Notes

Obsidian is hard and brittle and therefore fractures with very sharp edges.
- In the past it was used to manufacture cutting, piercing tools and arrowheads.
Obsidian is also used for ornamental purposes and as jewellery.
- It presents a different appearance depending on how it is cut: in one direction it is jet black, while in another it is glistening gray.
The first known archaeological evidence of usage was 700,000 BCE.
Rainbow usually needs careful cutting to bring out the multi coloured layers.
Variations where the colours are many but the layering is not obvious may be called velvet obsidian.
