Scientific Facts
Obsidian is an igneous rock occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. As silicate-rich magma extrudes from inside the earth’s crust, it falls over the water bodies or other surfaces that are in contact with water. As a result, the lava gets cooled and consolidated instantly without any crystallization. Hence, obsidian cannot be classified under any crystal system. This glassy rock is metastable—over time, it becomes fine-grained, mineral crystals. Obsidian is extremely rich in silica (about 65 to 80 percent), is low in water, and has a chemical composition similar to rhyolite. Obsidian has a glassy luster and is slightly harder than window glass.
Metaphysical Properties
Obsidian is said to be a strongly protective stone, even a shield against negativity, as well as a stone of purification. When it comes to purification, it is also said to draw out mental stress and tension while stimulating growth, urging exploration of the unknown and opening new horizons.
About our Upcycled Jewelry
Upcycled jewelry is made from old/used jewelry that has been saved from thrift stores or private collection. They are unique unless otherwise stated. We try to test all pieces to the best of our abilities. Stones may be lab created or otherwise enhanced - they are identical in their crystal formation so our devices cannot tell the difference.
With your purchase, you are not only getting an ethically sourced piece of jewelry from a small business but also giving your piece new life and helping to save many more from a landfill.
