🔮 Gold Sheen Obsidian: Radiant Sun Within

💛💚 Solar Plexus & Heart Chakras

Gold Sheen Obsidian has a beautiful way of keeping its best feature hidden until the light finds it. At first glance these hearts can appear deep black and highly polished, but turn them slightly and a warm golden sheen begins to move across the surface.

This striking optical effect is created by countless microscopic gas bubbles trapped within the volcanic glass as it cooled. When light interacts with these tiny inclusions, the characteristic golden reflection becomes visible, sometimes appearing as broad flashes and in other pieces as softer bands or glowing areas across the stone.

Because the sheen develops naturally within the Obsidian, every heart is individual. The intensity, direction and pattern of the gold will vary from piece to piece, giving each its own character.

Obsidian itself forms when silica-rich volcanic lava cools so rapidly that crystals do not have sufficient time to develop, creating natural volcanic glass. The smooth polish of these hearts provides a beautiful contrast to those fiery volcanic beginnings.

The heart has long symbolised love, connection and emotional strength, while Gold Sheen Obsidian is traditionally associated metaphysically with protection, grounding, confidence and revealing what may be hidden beneath the surface. It is also often connected with personal power and recognising your own strengths.

Together, the symbolism feels particularly fitting. A heart for staying connected to what matters, carved from a stone associated with seeing clearly, standing firmly and recognising the strength already within you.

Deep black until the light catches them, these Gold Sheen Obsidian hearts are a beautiful example of a crystal that never quite looks the same twice. 🖤✨

💚 Hearts

Heart shapes are one of our favourites and a gentle reminder of the love within us all. From small to large it really doesn’t matter the size only what they represent and that is love. Love within and love throughout.

Whether you have them as display pieces or keep them in your pocket when you need that extra support, hearts should be one of those crystals that should be a staple in everyone’s crystal diet.

The more we are reminded that we are loved and live through our hearts, the better this world will be.
