{"product_id":"rainbow-obsidian-skull-carving","title":"Rainbow Obsidian Skull | Rainbow Guardian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Rainbow Obsidian Skull is carved from natural volcanic glass, appearing beautifully glossy and deep black before revealing hidden bands of iridescent colour under the right lighting conditions. Microscopic internal structures interact with light to produce shifting flashes that may include green, purple, pink, gold and silver, with every carving displaying its own individual pattern. The curved contours of the skull provide an ideal surface for exploring this remarkable optical effect, allowing colour to emerge and disappear as the piece is turned. Combining fascinating volcanic geology with symbolism surrounding transformation, wisdom and self-discovery, Rainbow Obsidian proves that appearances can be rather spectacularly deceptive.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e⚖️ Weight: 942gms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📏 Size: 9cm H x 11.4cm L x 7.5cm W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🌍 Source: \u003cspan\u003eMexico\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔮 Rainbow Obsidian: The Cleanse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Base Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThere is something wonderfully deceptive about Rainbow Obsidian. At first glance it can appear deep glossy black, but introduce the right angle of light and suddenly those hidden bands of colour begin revealing themselves.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainbow Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools extremely rapidly, preventing an ordered crystalline structure from developing. Although we commonly group it with crystals, mineralogically Obsidian is classified as a mineraloid rather than a true crystalline mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rainbow effect develops from extremely fine microscopic layers and inclusions within the volcanic glass. These structures interact with light to create iridescent bands that may reveal greens, purples, pinks, golds and subtle silvery tones depending upon the individual piece and viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis optical effect is particularly fabulous in a skull carving because the curved surfaces give the light plenty to play with. As the skull is slowly turned, areas that initially appear completely black can suddenly reveal sweeping bands and flashes of colour across the forehead, temples, cheekbones and back of the carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd Rainbow Obsidian does like to make you work for it. 😂 Its colour isn't necessarily visible under every lighting condition or from every direction. Finding those flashes is part of its personality, and once you find the sweet spot, the transformation can be spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Symbolism of the Skull\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skull has long represented mortality, wisdom, transformation and our awareness of life's cycles. In contemporary spiritual symbolism it is also associated with self-knowledge, looking beyond surface appearances and recognising truths that may previously have remained hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with Rainbow Obsidian, that symbolism becomes particularly fitting. What appears dark and impenetrable can contain remarkable colour beneath the surface, only revealed when perspective changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Crystal Symbolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainbow Obsidian is traditionally associated with protection, grounding, emotional insight and self-reflection. Compared with Black Obsidian's rather uncompromising reputation for getting straight to the point, Rainbow Obsidian is often considered a gentler variation, encouraging us to acknowledge what has been hidden while also recognising growth, possibility and beauty within the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rainbow itself has become a powerful symbol of hope, transformation and emergence after difficult periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA skull carved from Rainbow Obsidian therefore carries a rather beautiful message: there can be considerably more within us than what is immediately visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you simply need to turn towards the light differently. 💀🌈✨\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Divine Crystal Heart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54018538012896,"sku":null,"price":381.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/0871\/9000\/files\/RainbowObsidianSkullRainbowGuardian1.jpg?v=1786687341","url":"https:\/\/divinecrystalheart.com.au\/products\/rainbow-obsidian-skull-carving","provider":"Divine Crystal Heart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
