Bring the hidden magic of volcanic fire into your space with this stunning, hand-polished Gold Sheen Obsidian Sphere. Meticulously crafted from authentic Mexican obsidian, this 2.36-inch (60mm) crystal ball appears as a sleek, glossy black velvet from afar. But when caught by the sunlight or direct flash, a brilliant, celestial golden shimmer awakens just beneath the surface.
Gold Sheen Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly. Its mesmerizing metallic glow—known as chatoyancy—is caused by tiny, microscopic gas bubbles trapped within the stone during its fiery formation. Every sphere features its own unique, swirling galaxy of gold.
Approx. 2.36 inches / 60 mm
