✨ Temple Tip — ask it the uncomfortable question
Obsidian is a mirror, and mirrors are wasted on flattering angles. When you sit with the point, ask the question you have been carefully not asking. The stone's whole tradition is truth over comfort, and that only works if you go first.
Questions we get asked
What is the difference between Gold Sheen and Silver Sheen?
Gold Sheen Obsidian is associated with personal power, prosperity, and purposeful growth — it is known to encourage confidence and strategic action. Silver Sheen Obsidian carries a calmer energy, associated with wisdom, patience, and clear communication.
Why is Sheen Obsidian rare?
Most Obsidian cools into a solid black stone. The sheen varieties form only under rare conditions, which makes them far less common.
Why is Obsidian linked to truth?
The world's first mirrors, made around 8,000 years ago in what is now Turkey, were crafted from polished Obsidian. The association with reflection and truth has followed the stone ever since.
Will mine look exactly like the photo?
Every stone is natural and hand-selected, so color, pattern, and markings vary from piece to piece. Yours will be similar in size and character to what is pictured, and naturally its own.
