The golden variety gets its shimmering sheen from microscopic gas bubbles aligned during cooling. In crystal tradition, obsidian is considered a grounding, protective stone, and the golden sheen variety is often linked to introspection, personal power, and positivity.

Many people hold a tumbled stone during quiet reflection or meditation as a small, tactile focus point, turning it slowly to watch the golden sheen shift. Because obsidian is natural glass, sheen intensity and pattern vary from stone to stone, so each tumbled piece has its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; cleansing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObsidian is fairly durable but, being natural glass, it is more prone to chipping than crystalline stones, so handle it gently and avoid drops onto hard surfaces or hard knocks against other stones. A quick rinse with water is fine; just avoid harsh chemicals and dry it with a soft cloth afterward to keep the surface smooth and the golden sheen easy to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is golden obsidian?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a natural volcanic glass with a golden, metallic-looking sheen caused by tiny gas bubbles trapped as it cooled.
