Silver Sheen Obsidian
Like other Obsidian, Silver Sheen Obsidian is a volcanic glass, formed when lava cools rapidly. Its sheen, often described as a silvery or iridescent shimmer, is caused by microscopic gas bubbles trapped within the glass. This phenomenon, known as "spherulitic crystallization," creates a beautiful and distinctive appearance. The colour of Silver Sheen Obsidian can vary from dark grey to black, with the sheen often appearing as a subtle overlay.
Spiritually this stone is believed to possess powerful properties. It is often associated with grounding and protection, helping to anchor one to the present moment and shield against negative energies. Some believe that this stone can enhance intuition and promote clarity of thought, aiding in decision-making and personal growth.
Silver sheen obsidian is also thought to be a supportive stone for those facing challenges or going through significant life changes. It is believed to provide strength, courage, and resilience, helping individuals to overcome obstacles and find their path. Additionally, some practitioners believe that silver sheen obsidian can assist in releasing deep-seated fears and emotional blockages, allowing for greater self-awareness and healing.
