Golden Obsidian

Golden Obsidian or Golden Sheen Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly. This quick solidification prevents crystals from forming, resulting in a smooth, glassy surface. The golden sheen, its most striking feature, arises from tiny gas bubbles trapped within the obsidian during its formation. Found primarily in Mexico, the United States, and Central America, it's a volcanic treasure.

Golden Sheen Obsidian is prized for its grounding and protective properties. Like all obsidian, it's believed to shield against negativity and promote emotional balance. However, the golden sheen adds another layer, symbolizing inner strength and personal power. It's associated with the root and solar plexus chakras, believed to enhance feelings of security and self-worth. Golden Sheen Obsidian is also seen as a stone of truth, encouraging self-reflection and revealing hidden talents or negative patterns holding you back. Some believe it acts as a conduit to the divine, aligning your personal will with a higher purpose.
